I do get to enjoy a couple more pretties of my flowers before I leave tomorrow. You've seen this a couple of times before, but it blooms pretty consistently. This is the salmon-colored poppy that was a gift from Marie.
Near at hand is the Japanese painted fern. Much fuller now than a few weeks ago, and looking good.
The smile-producing surprise of the day is one of my red poppies that bloomed this year. I used to have 3 or 4 healthy plants. But the lilac hedge took over the area that used to be sunny, and the poppies didn't like it. Last year I moved a remnant up near where the house is now, but it's still too tiny to bloom. But deep in the shade, a ray of sun must have hit this spot and I got a red one!
Tomorrow: the traditional packing pictures. Stay tuned!

Pretty stuff. I like that fern. Guess that poppy is a survivor
The tenacity of life can be amazing.
Lovely. I've found unplanted poppies popping up all over my veg path here. Sdaly, not this year though.
Unexpected surprises are always fun, if they're good like this one.
