This is for Mom..

Look Mom.... that thing you swore was a weed is this beautiful Poppy. It totally looks weedish to me but the flower is amazing! Up close it looks like tissue paper. I'm told it has a short life after blooming, too bad. I still have no clue what all the flowers are in my yard. Still a California gardener trying to become Colorado expert. I do however have petunias that are doing nicely and I've seen gorgeous flowers like we had in Louisville on Cod Drive on the side of the house..remember. I just had a pre-senior moment and lost the name of them!!!Hmmm.. anyhow...This Poppy will forever be called Bonnie's Weed!

Love You Mom!
