I love it when these poppies open. Petals resembling faded, washed silk. 
Exquisite.
Wishing you all a good weekend. D.

Wonderful flowers. xx
Aren’t they just!
Yes “exquisite”!!!
Very nice! I’m waiting for my own poppies (orange, of course) to bloom.
Anticipation, that’s half the fun of gardening
Such a lovely description, ‘faded washed silk’ and such a fabulous colour too. Makes you want to do a Viennese waltz😉.
Perhaps if only I knew how!
Patty’s Plum is a beauty. I wish she would die a bit more elegantly though.
I know what you mean Chloris. The seed pods aren’t even as good as the annuals
She is indeed lovely but sadly has never done well for me.
I am surprised Cathy as most things thrive for you. Any idea why?
How are open day plans going?
Not sure why, Dorris. I have grown some other poppies from seed this year and It will be interesting to see how they do – P orientale and P Princess Victoria Louise. All under control for opening, I think, just getting on with what has to be done!
Wonderful pictures, you capture this flower perfectly and describe it to a tea! Mine isn’t quite out yet.. I might run out and check now , just to be sure!? Happy gardening ☺️
It’s a beauty! ❤️
