Lot's of Poppies!

This has been the best year yet for poppies around our place. Guess all the snow we had this year helped. I love looking out both the front and back windows and seeing the beautiful bright orange. I did not plant any of these seeds. There were a few when we first moved in and I just keep letting them pop and spread. Here are some shots of the state flower, the California Poppy.

Can you believe it, there is a white poppy mixed in with them. I have never seen a white poppy.


View from the front windows.

Last year we put all the dead plants in the fire pit. Guess the seeds popped when we burned them down they popped and left us with a blanket of orange!
