Surprise Poppy


This volunteer poppy reseeded itself and lasted for one day. There are several more pods that will open. I was thrilled to see it. I forgot to plant more and still have an unopened seed packet. The leaves look like crepe paper, don't they? 
Love them♡

Poppy Seed Pods

I gathered these seed pods yesterday morning and I couldn't believe the size of this bunch after only three days. Needless to say, I will have plenty of seeds for next years poppy patch. Have a wonderful July 4th.

Rogue Poppy and Raindrops

We had a nice overnight rain and I have a rogue poppy with an all yellow center. I'm not complaining but I was a little surprised since all the other centers are black. We shall see if blonds have more fun.

My Lady's Mantle was very happy this morning after capturing so many raindrops from the overnight showers. It is drought tolerant but was looking a little puny as it always does after showing off so in the spring. It is prized more for its leaves than for its flowers. Have a great weekend. xo

Happy Friday

Yesterday afternoon in my poppy patch.

Here is the same flower showing the beautiful black center in portrait mode. I'll try to find something else to post today besides poppies! See you later. xo

Poppies in Bloom at My Cottage

An overnight miracle.

Four poppies bloomed.

This one befriended the giant mullein.

I am happy beyond words.
