One of our large red poppy flowers

I brought an offshoot from my parents' red poppy plant soon after we bought this house in 2003 and It has been producing wonderful flowers in our front garden ever since.

This is probably one of the last of about ten flowers so I wanted to record it, with the margarethe flowers  that have self seeded from a plant I also introduced some years ago.

Going out of the front door brings a smile to my face every time I see these huge flowers. Soon we'll have the seed pods to admire in their stead.
