Poppies were not meant to bloom in the rain.
At 10am these were beautiful.
By 4 pm, they looked like soggy socks.
Blowing in the wind, before the rain.

/ March 29, 2009Next to Dahlias, poppies were second in my list of seeds when I planned to build my garden but never had luck with both of them. thought poppies grow only in hot climate, but it’s great to see that they do well when it rains too! Great photos!
