Lots of poppies in bloom this week at our community garden. A beautiful bright red that my camera can’t focus on. (Are they making poppy seed bagels?) Also breathtaking iris and lupine. If I had any talent with paint, I’d set up an easel.
poppies, poppies, poppies….

Same with me. These flowers are in an apparently abandoned plot next to mine at our community garden. It gets full sun and has very rich soil. I would guess that both of these are the answer. When I grew them at home they had poor soil (not much compost and low nitrogen levels) and part sun. They sure are lovely flowers.
I absolutely love the combination of the orange-red of the poppy with a purple-blue flower. A field around my house is planted with poppies and blue bachelor buttons, which is just spectacular!
