Growing up, Mrs. Wolschied next door had a big planter area around some trees with hundreds of bright orange poppies. They just grew on their own, quite shaded actually, without much help from her as she had 13 children.
I thought that they were the most beautiful flowers. At the time I didn't know that there were many colors and varieties. Now of course I know different and in our yard we have these beautiful pink ones, a few orange, a whole variety of Alaskan Poppies in red, orange and yellow, and even a small variety of small double pink. We even have three varieties of Himalayan Blue Poppies that grow about three feet tall on very thick, hard stalks.
My world has expanded through age and a husband that loves flowers and yard work.
