Poppied

I nurture my poppy plant all year long. It's growing larger and larger each year and blooms more and more too. The flowers now reach my waist and though I've tried unsuccessfully to start another from this beauty, I've not had luck. I'm still happy with this one Jurassic sized specimen. 

 

I find the poppy to be stunning and showy. I hope to make some progress this weekend with the gathering of old things for a yard sale I've been procrastinating with, but I wanted to share these photos with you and wish you a lovely weekend. What are you doing for fun today? What are your wishes for the upcoming summer?

The Last Poppy

This is the last poppy of the season. It seems to have more blooms each year and is easily one of the favorites in the garden. Not only are they beautiful, but they're larger than most varieties because the blooms are the size of a hand and are between three and four feet tall.
