Poppies



My yard has its annual poppies popping up way too early! It is still Winter.

I love the little flames. They open at dawn and curl up tight at night.
They are wild and untamed. And a bit unkempt! Native flowers.

They are also the California State Flower.

I am too much of a teacher...sorry.

If they're wild, untamed and out of control.. doesn't that make them a weed?? I have some spray for that :) But they are pretty. I actually think dandelions are kind of pretty, the little yellow one. My husband just grunts at me.

I like both avatars Bird. Perhaps the blue one more. I like his pose :)
