I was walking around in my garden yesterday morning. Walking around is the best way to describe my walks since most of my flower beds are round...anyway. I got so excited when I glanced across the garden. A bright bloom caught my eye. Do you see it over there in the corner??
Lets get a little closer...now do you see it??
Here it is. My first poppy bloom of the year...
If I could still do it I would be doing flips and shouting hooray... This is the first time I have had a poppy come back. I planted it last year. My sister gave me a good healthy start. I planted it in the best place I could and voile, I have a poppy. Not only that but there are three other buds on this plant. I do hope they bloom and them make more poppies. Happy happy happy...
My happiness stems from my inability to grow poppies in the past. I mean I can't tell you how many times I have tried starts given to me. I've bought I don't know how many different types of poppies and failed. I have tried seeds. Most recently this spring Kylee at
Our Little Acre sent me some seeds to try. Some had been sent to her from Jodi at
Bloomingwriter which she graciously shared. I don't know if the seeds were drowned with all this spring rain but Ihave had none pop up. I saved some of the seed so I will winter sow them and see what happens. I won't give up hope for more poppies.
