    Netty your flowers are really beautiful. I love the locust tree with it's delicate flowers - wish I could smell them though.
    Don't you just love thos BIG poppies? :-D Mine got hit by heavy rain during a thunderstorm last night and now they are looking like rather sad, floppy shuttlecocks. :(

    Netty, everything is so beautifully lush, green and colorful, now it is my turn to be jealous of the pretties in your garden.

    Netty those are just some? How many flowers do you have? those are absoluteley breathtaking! I am new to the flower things but I have always held a special place for the oriental poppies, I just love them to death. I am going to give flowers a try for the first time ever and those are definitely on my list. Thank you so much for sharing those with us.

    Netty those are absolutely gorgeous. Since those are 'some' when do we get to see more? The colors are so vibrant and the plants look so healthy. ;)

    So many beautiful flowers in one garden. Just splendid.
    I must say that I find that sort of peachy oriental poppy a real looker... and placed with those pinky-red lupins it is simply stunning.
    Well done, you!

    Great pics Netty. I love that lighter shade poppy, I've only got the darker one. They are all wonderful! Those peonies, oh how I wish I could stick my nose in them!
