    I've got some more reading to do to catch up on all the posts I've missed the last few days, but I will do that later. I wanted to get these pics posted for y'all. Some I took today and some I've been taking over the last week and just have not had time to get on the computer.

    My poppies:

    This is a pic of the flowers on the burning bush. I had said I'd post it for Toni. They are more yellow than white and the pic is not that good. My camera doesn't take good close ups:

    I know I've posted a lot of these at first flower, but they are looking so much better now and I wanted to share them again.

    Y'all have a great day!

    WOW those poppies are really striking and look so good growing beside you Siberian Iris. :-D What beauties your salvia and iris are. You certainly have lots of colour in your garden.

    You have a seriously pretty yard and your flowers are planted just right.
    I LURVE those orange poppies. I have some too. the irises and salvias are supurb.
    I don't know why, but I can never get realistic colours when I fotograph those orange babies.

    A really big "well done"!

    Your border's sheer delight! I love that strong colour on your poppies, and your iris are lovely too. Those salvia are handsome plants. They look so well behaved. :D

    All of your flowers are Beautiful! I especially liked the Siberian Irises. I wonder if they will grow here in Louisiana. Judging by their name I'm thinking not, but I will check into it. I would love to plant some! Thanks for sharing.

    your poppies are really pretty. I've tried to grow some from seed, but no luck with that. So I'll sit and enjoy yours-thanks for sharing.
