This is one of the first Poppies I saw in bloom this season. I spied it all alone while on a “stretching my legs” hike a few weeks ago.
It’s Easter on Sunday and I’ll be spending the day with family. I hope you all have a lovely week-end, and a wonderful Easter if you celebrate it.

Beautiful find and capture! I love poppies … they may be my very favorites. I am waiting to see if my poppies come up in my perennial garden. I purchased some Oriental Poppies and also grew some California Poppies from seed. Fingers crossed!

Me John! I have a friend who moved up to WA state a few years ago who emailed me after seeing my image to say he never thought he’d miss orange poppies til he didn’t see them anymore. 🙂

Beautiful, Deborah. This is a favorite color of spring. I only think of poppies in red, so this was particularly exciting. Welcome spring and Happy Easter!

Thank you so much John! I’ve never tried to grow them myself. Do they grow in TX?

Oh no. They barely grow in California. Real tough to get started and yet they do well in the wild. Sort of like Texas Bluebells.

My knowlegde of flowers is virtually non existant. When thinking of poppies I imagine the wild roadside flowers that indeed mostly are red. After googling a bit I learn poppies are also cultivated and come in a large variety of colours! I suppose we might very well have those cultivated poppies over here, but yes, I did mean the red ones 🙂
