Beautiful Big Orange Poppy

v

Here you can see exactly how big and beautiful these Poppys are the pic above and to the far R shows a flower pod before it opens. The leaves look a bit like thistles but they are "soft" to the touch.  The plants do well in undisterbed locations where they get some sun but can keep their roots cool. We have another location of these flowers and they will be flowering  soon. These are early bloomers, showing off or maybe they just couldn't wait !         Mother Nature is a splendid artist to say the least !
