Poppies, Etc.

This is kind of a random post, mostly poppies and a couple of other photos.

Today my purple poppy bloomed. I suspect it is a 'Patty's Plum' that has always come out a very light purple, instead of the dark purple that is usual for that variety. (Maybe it got crossed with a white poppy. I don't know. But my label says 'Patty's Plum'.)

My first 'Allegro' poppy has already gone, but two little ones opened up in its place. They are just starting to get white edges on their petals.

'Turkenlouis' sort of closes up at night, but still adds its incredible crimson colour to the garden.

This is another large poppy that is about to bloom. I am not sure what colour it will be. It looks pretty close to orange, but that could be a trick of the camera. I also have candy floss pink poppies that have yet to bloom, so maybe this is one of them.

As colourful as the poppies, but located in the back garden in the daylily bed, are these 'Little Red Spring Song' daylilies. I have blogged them before, but I thought these four flowers were putting on a great show this evening.

Now, I have many times shown views of the morning light in the garden. But equally pleasing is the evening light. So here is a gratuitous photo of the long rays of the setting sun in the west-facing side garden.

And with that, I will leave you.
