a hairy poppy about to burst

by this time last year many of the poppies in our garden were already in full bloom. I remember taking a picture of this one when the morning light turned every blooming poppy the most intense beautiful orange I had ever seen. this year everything seems to be popping up later.

Looks like forget-me-nots in the background - must be a lovely combination when both are in bloom.; May 11, 2011 at 1:14 AM
