“Just This” Moments: Celebrating Spring iii
One of my favourite flowers is the hardy and common Flanders poppy—or ANZAC poppy as it is known here, for the Australian New Zealand Army Corps that served in Flanders & elsewhere throughout World War 1.
So this little series celebrating spring with a few “just this” moments from the garden wouldn’t be complete without some shots of the first poppies coming into bloom—these ones by the very traditional white painted fence! 🙂
The white flower growing alongside the poppies is alyssum, another common flower but still a favourite of mine.
Flanders poppy is indeed a beautiful plant when it blooms. 🙂
(I have several poppies in the garden and they flower abundantly in late spring.)
I also like Iceland poppies and the opium poppy as well—but the latter always get ‘beheaded’ when planted along the raod frontage! (Sighs)
