Here's an easy one, from my December garden. All the poppies are self-seeded and all are growing in the vegetable garden. These are tall poppies - human height in some cases - not the more usual iceland poppies.

And what a spectacular return. These poppies are breathtaking---esp the black one---and the hangy downy whites---such variety of shapes and colors---all beautifully photographed. So glad to have you back!
ReplyDeleteNot to mention textures!
ReplyDeleteRuth and I enjoy your photographs. What a colourful display of Poppies. Some of the pictures I have seen before but I don't rememember seeing the blindfold on your pet goat!

Haha! The blindfold is Rosie getting to the bottom of a plastic bag to get at the rolled oats (her favourite). She refused to eat out of a container - only plastic bags!
ReplyDeleteYes Deb, I like the 'hangy downy' white buds too :-)
They look like tutus made of tissue. Lovely :) My favourite is the red/black. Looks like a lolly in the middle. Amber shook our poppy seeds around the garden, but the chooks scuttled over and pecked them up :(
ReplyDeleteWhoops - you'll have chooks laying poppies ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos oh yes .. the red looks like latex/plastic. In town (Chch) people visit to take the bulbs away for recreational use ! :(
ReplyDeleteYup - know all about disappearing poppies. Mum used to grow opium poppies and they regularly walked...
ReplyDeleteBit slow .. just got the reference to skirts and frills bellowing out in plan view .. lovely.
ReplyDeleteA whole crop of poppies once mysteriously grew up in the raised-bed vegetable garden of the elementary school where I taught. Nobody ever found out who planted them. What part of the plant produces the opium?
