This wonderful patch of oriental poppies has been one of the great joys in the herb garden over the years.
I still find it so encouraging when they start to open each May and keep blooming until some days into June...always sad to see them go..though they leave a gift of poppy heads to cut for winter.
...almost always snapped in early evening at the golden hour of sunset ....
...soporific...even narcotic...
I love them too Gerry. This afternoon, walking in the Quaker Meeting House Garden I saw the most beautiful white one in full bloom.
