More of those "wild" poppies. I transplanted them into my garden and this year they came out mauve. Go figure!! Nature is so wonderfu.
I am on holidays from August 17th until August 26th ....whee!! Although I will be home for the first few days, on the 21st we are heading to the States mainly to go to Tacoma Washington to attend the Gaither Gospel Homecoming Tour on Friday the 22nd. We are in for a real treat. We will also be tourists for a while and hopefully will come back with lots of good pictures. Anyhow, all of that to say I probably won't be visiting your wonderful sites for at least the 21st - 26th, but I promise I will catch up. I will prepost.
tu devrais inciser les capsules et recuperer le latex .........

@rem_la: Vous m'avez voulu dire devriez récupérer les graines, parce que le latex signifie le caoutchouc et ce doesn' ; t semblent raisonnable.

@Veronelle: Merci
Beautiful color and composition, Marion ... I just love the organic shapes that poppies leave behind after they bloom! This shot makes me think of royalty (the crowned pods) interspersed with four lovely maidens.

WONDERFUL shot, Marion - a few open and many to come, hopefully in the next week! xx

@Judy: This was last year's picture and they have all been cleared away by park management. Tomorrow's picture is of one that I planted last year and finally bloomed. I got it from the nursery.
Lovely. They look like little green queens wearing crowns.

Those poppies are so pretty, Marion...a wonderful image.

Beautiful, Marion... I have some strange transplants in some of my gardens too... (Ever hear of velvet weed? -- I through in some seeds and some are growing there now.)
8 Jun 2008 9:54pm
@Earnest: Thanks Earnest. No I had never heard of velvet weed but I goggled it and found out that it is very invasive and grows to 6 - 7 ft tall. Although the flowers on it are quite pretty. These wild poppies can grow around here anytime they want. I find them quite beautiful too.
Exquisite, what a fabulous, dreamy compo...you've done it again ;)

Attention, Marion, they look like opium !! :)) but I think they are papaver orientale and not papaver somniferum The composition is beautiful and I like these few popies in middle of all the fruits.
