| Like exotic butterflies, my poppies seem to hover and dance in a gentle breeze. |
 |
| A fresh bloom that looks like crinkled ivory silk, stained with powdered rouge. |
 |
| Each form and colour competes for pollinator attention. |
 |
| How could a bee possibly resist these luscious hues? |

This is a beautiful story, with photos superb!!! I love the added words to each poppy, detailing them in glorious coloured words. And a line-up at the check-out pollen counter...Great timing for that one.
ReplyDeleteLove that line at the checkout....it is so hard to get good pictures of bees with pollen.
ReplyDeleteI tried planting poppies but had no luck. I wanted them for the bees.

ReplyDeleteI save my dried poppy seed pods in late fall and store them in a paper bag. Then in the spring I broadcast the pepper sized seeds on the newly tilled ground. They come up like weeds here! With all the cross pollination, I never know until they bloom, what assortment of colours I have. And that's a nice surprise!
Wow! My poppies are done, done, done! Yours are lovely. I only have reds...
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kindness re: my dock! It's good therapy for me.
My poppies are so dead! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos and flowers! Well-shot!
ReplyDeleteJust back from BC, and I have so many photos!!!
Your bees look wonderful, in your previous post. This must give you much joy!!!
