Before I came down with a miserable summer cold, I took a trip to the Tower of London to see the poppy display to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII.

This complementary pairing wasn't by design.
I had poppies in my garden last year but didn't dead head them all. That way I knew I had a good chance of getting some this year from the seed heads that I'd left.

Not everyone is christian but for those who are happy Good Friday.
These poppies always strike me as appropriate for both spring and Easter. Usually they bloom in the beginning of March for a short time but it's as if they bring...

I was just thinking about earlier this morning! I had seen some frilly pink poppies in one of the lanes that I used to get up town. They seemed to be growing wild in the front yard of an elderly gentleman. I couldn' t just grab a...
