Good morning, Joey. I love your poppy. I got one last year, Allegro, the photo showed a lovely deep red. NOT. It's orange :0

Wow, this is a poppy - the color. I have not had poppies since my last home. I am going to have to find a small space for some.

Scott came to work laughing at my comment. I guess I did phrase it a little wrong. Every time I visit your blog you have grat pictures waiting.

Gorgeous poppies, Joey... and I adore the Gibran quote! That's one of his I had not heard before, and it's so true. :)

Sorry for delay, Tatyana, but have been away. Sad to see these beloved poppies, a garden favorite, are waning and must wait another year for their return.

I so love this poppy, Marnie, and sigh with delight the day the first poppy POPS!

Thanks Chad ... wow, just came back from admiring much that I missed being away! Sounds like you 2 friends enjoy a fun/humorous life together!

Hi Scott and big thanks. You paint a smile on my face each time you visit :)

Do hope you can find a home for this poppy, Eileen. Though short lived, it never disappoints.

it's a beauty, Cameron. Have you ever grown 'eye popping' oriental poppies?

Thanks imac ... love the leader photo too. Aren't photographers taught to begin with the best?

You are always a dear, Kim, and thanks!

These are 2 'all-time' favorites in my garden, Marmee. I sigh thinking I must wait another year for their arrival, especially when retuning from 5 days at the lake, Scarlett's blooms had vanished.

Too funny, Rick ... keep looking :)

Thanks, dear soulful Kiki!

Hello, dear Kanak. Wouldn't it be a joy to visit each other's gardens!
