I love these poppies! so pretty yet so tough. their seed survives our winters and they come up unbidden..found a patch starting in my newly dug hosta bed, for heaven's sake! I've had the pink ones like this forever, it seems...but purple? that is just gorgeous!

It probably is Carole, though it was a mix of poppies.....yes, Can Can from the Moulin Rouge....:)))

Ha, ha Lori, not the perfect location to us, but to them Yes!

Lots of seed heads now girls, there will be plenty of seeds on a few weeks....let me know if you'd like some......
