Flowers


Our poppies!

Not sure what these are, but I love them!!!

Over the 9 years( yes it ahs been that long ) we have lived in our house I have added new plants in addition to what the previous owners had planted. One thing they planted that we look forward to every year is our poppies! The kids get so excited when they see the buds and check everyday to see how many have opened. The other day I was leaving for school and noticed the first 2 had opened, I had to get a quick picture. This other plant (I cannot remember what it is) I planted maybe 2 years ago and love it! The foliage is pretty and it is quite full, but my favorite thing is the flowers on it. They are a beautiful, cheery blue, maybe periwinkle. Anyway, they open each morning and as the day goes on they slowly close back up until the next day. Everytime I leave or come home I walk right past and love to see them, they make me happy!

I noticed your poppies today also! They are stunning, and a different variety than I've seen before. I'm sure Kelly knows what those little blue flowers are. Maybe they're 4get me nots.
