I love POPPIES!!! All kinds, all colors, all over my yard!!! I have failed to grow them from seed for several years, so last year I finally bought a poppy mix and just poured it all over my flower bed: success!! They were Iceland poppies, so they are smaller, and I love the big Oriental ones, so I planted more seeeds. Bummer again. But, I bought a few seedlings and here we go! I am still waiting for my white and fuchsia orientals to grow, but so far my yard is lovely! Take a look:
This was my first poppy of the year. Around my sidewalk, the water pooled and all the seeds flooded to there, so they are crowded and tiny! It is a little bit cute.
Elliott certainly loves a poppy too!
Mike and Archie are admiring the view.
That's what I'm talking about! An oriental poppy that I bought as a seedling. Hopefully it will reseed and spread the love next year!
Gorgeous!
This little guy loves poppies too, I just know it! That's why he's hanging out Alice in Wonderland style in my flower bed.
That's right....gorgeous again!
This is my crown jewel! I planted these peach oriental seeds last year, along with the white and fuchsias, but they didn't take. Bought this one as a seedling and voila!
Happy times.

LOVE THE POPPYS -- and they should reseed themselves every year! I have never seen some of those in your pictures. Beautiful. I am so use to California Poppies. Great to have flowers around.
This Mom - Your "floral photographs" are beautiful. You are persuading me to love poppies, too!
cute kids and beautiful flowers! :)
