No cottage garden should be without poppies. I was delighted to find clumps of oriental poppies growing in an existing flower bed but had no idea what colour they would turn out to be. I have wished and wished for birght red ones to paint and this morning I was greeted with gorgeous flowers standing proud and shining in sunlight.
As an artist I am thrilled! I wonder how many of my friends will be painting these for years to come on visits here but for now I am not alone as the poppy has attracted other admirers!
Thank you for following my blog. I really just wanted to share the beauty of my surroundings as it is so pretty here.

My first oriental poppy has also just come into bloom. I took a photo yesterday, and loved how the bright sunlight shone through the petals turning them yellow. Your cottage sounds pefect Jean.

ReplyDeleteHello Ingrid, its is coming along. Like a work of art it will take time to develop and I am loving each day here, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Ady, it feels selfish not to share the beauty around me as it really isn't mine to keep.
