No matter how small our piece of God's great outdoors may be,
the seasons play out and astound us with their changes.
Just 3 months ago the scene outside our sunroom looked like this:
Six weeks ago, this -- with a small clump of infant poppy leaves in the lower right:
Last week -- a lone poppy bloomed.
And today . . . a whole mess o'poppies in bloom!
Enjoy their funkalicious blossoms in closeup:
Poppies are not the only reds popping out at That Old House:
These charming old fashioned roses are favorites of mine, and also the deer.They are doomed.
Out in Southold, at the beach house,
the white wild roses are just beginning their summer-long display:
They pop up through the yews at the edge of the lower deck.

So far only one lonely poppy has popped out at Pondside - but lots of furry bulbs ready to go as soon as the sun shines.

Gorgeous poppy blooms, and so many more to go yet! Your photos are fantastic too! I love all those close up shots, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love poppies, love your photos. The roses are really pretty too.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to take photos of the same place a few weeks apart and then compare them. I keep meaning to do that!
ReplyDeleteYour pics are getting me excited about my own poppies! The reds are almost ready, and the pink one has a way to go.

Hi Cass,
ReplyDeleteVery pretty poppies. For some reason I am saying that with an English accent in my head, good thing you also have some beautiful roses or I might be stuck with an English accent the rest of my life! Love the linens you found too!

Cass,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures - gorgeous poppies. We go back to Maine next weekend and with any luck mine will wait until I get there to "pop".

How gorgeous. Poppies always remind me of the Wizard of OZ.
ReplyDeleteI love the view from your window.
I love poppies but have never tried growing them. Are they hard to grow? I love the old rose. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe poppies are beautiful. Thanks for getting me in the mood to garden this weekend. Have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos!!!! You have a wonderful garden! :)
