Everywhere I look, poppies are showing up in gardens. Not public gardens but, private gardens. 20 years ago, I never saw these flowers in gardens but, the last few years they are everywhere. I saw these when I was walking around in Scottsdale last Sunday. They really are a "happy" flower. they make you smile.
They do indeed, even their name sounds happy!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites. We have them in England too.
ReplyDeleteThey are a happy bloom Sharon, that vibrant red is so cheery.. I think people have realised that they're nice and easy to grow :)
ReplyDeletePoppies do pop up and command attention! Incidentally, I am now in the 5th day of a miserable bout of Verdigo so my posting, visiting, and commenting are proving difficult, but I will eventually be back in full swing again. Have a good week-end!
ReplyDeleteI see them everywhere! Everywhere except in my yard where they refuse to grow. The ones around here are the orange ones and they are a happy flower.
ReplyDeleteI do love poppies and these are such a pretty shrimp color!
ReplyDeleteThey are pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey do look happy and carefree, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteOh I love them and you've captured them beautifully!
ReplyDeleteHappiness is an opium bud???
ReplyDeleteIn Scottsdale. How long will you be able to keep them? (Spoken as a climate pessimist.)
ReplyDeleteI love that color of Poppy.
ReplyDeleteYes, one of my favorites, as flowers go!
ReplyDeleteThese are really pretty. My first house was bought in 1974 in a Boston suburb and I inherited several nice poppy plants in the garden, much like these. When I moved to Hartford, the new yard wasn't suited to poppies (less sun), so I left them behind.
ReplyDeleteYou are right: they give the feeling of happiness.
