This is the most successful year yet for the Oriental Poppies!
The first red-orange ones opened on May 28.
Most of the other buds opened a couple of days ago. Usually we get a heavy rain or wind so that the flowers don't last. This year, they are holding on wonderfully.
And today, the event I was hoping for actually happened. There are red and salmon pink ones open at the same time!
Here are the pink ones alone.
And, hey. On my plant buying search the other day I found one that is supposed to be white. I don't think I even knew there were white ones. So that came home with me.
And just for kicks, a whole bunch of them have naturalized along Freesoil Road. Probably not a good thing, but it sure was pretty.
I walked to the library and did more of all the usual stuff.
