just wanted to share the gorgeous poppies i got at root, stock and quade yesterday. such a lovely shade of purple. don't forget to send in your pics for our communal gallery to the left!
Love these flowers (and the vases) too! Actually, they are anemones, often confused with poppies! Looks like the "collars" have been removed; they are usually a few inches below the blossom and are a distinguishing feature of anemones. Poppies have a very wiry, hairy stem. Enjoy!
oh lovely... i was just going to write saying that they look like anemone's actually. but then i saw someone already mentioned that.
definitely one of my favourite flowers. and in purple too. actually wearing a purple anemone at the moment.
poppies however, are another favourite too. especially with the softest summer breeze. and tulips. this is definitely the season to celebrate the tulips. [and i do believe, that has to be one of the most beautiful sounding words... ever]
