It’s fairly safe to say that I am obsessed with poppies. But despite that, I have always failed at growing them. Until this year. This is not my first poppy to bloom, but it’s the first to reach full size and full purple potential, so naturally it starred in a whole photo shoot this morning. 😂🌸 [Images: Several photos of a Hungarian blue poppy, which looks more pinky purple than blue, with the sun coming through its petals, and showing the inner workings of the flower.] #poppy #poppies #papaversomniferum #papaver
Garden firsts this week: zucchini, artichoke, gold nugget and coyote tomatoes, opium poppies, okra, bush beans, multiplier onion, fava beans, head garlic, strawberry. Lots more firsts getting close. #highaltitudegardening #mountaingarden #shadegarden
