in the garden : wild poppies in bloom

I sowed some poppy seeds early spring this year.......

Planted 4/20/2011

.....when the hyacinth, tulips and magnolia tree were blooming.......

4/20/2011: Note Zara's winter coat, yellow narcissus and an unopened tulip. All signs of early spring. The fence behind Zara is where I planted the poppies that day.

......and this week the poppies started appearing. so far only pink and red. Some lavendar and white ones should appear as well.

The petals looks like crepe paper. Hmmmm...paper poppies made of crepe paper. Idea for crafty project?

In front of the poppy patch are a few flat large rocks. Perfect for posing in front of said poppies.
