Papaver atlanticum 'Flora Pleno'Spanish poppies grow like weeds in my gardens. The plants are short-lived but reseed themselves freely. (Or maybe a chipmunk is farming them? We’ve often seen a local chipmunk harvesting the seeds for … hmmm … getting a little high?)

What a wonderful flower. Wonder if they would do well here in New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteWow, so vibrant!
ReplyDeleteGreat orange color. I wonder what makes them "Spanish"?
ReplyDeletevery pretty. Once they get established they go on forever. I like your Chipmunk farming theory.
ReplyDeleteCalifornia Poppies are everywhere out here. Pretty though.

Almost looks like paper!

Beautiful color, great capture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and you get them for nothing! No planting and watering and tending. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing something so beautiful!
This is a beautiful capture.. I am sat here with the image of a Chipmunk in a drug induced state running around your garden banging into everything.. :O)
ReplyDeleteI've tried to grow them but never had much success.... what's your secret?
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful colors. They must look quite amazing in the garden.

ReplyDeleteLovely, Lovely! Have never seen a Spanish Poppy before. Poppies, in general, don't grow well here -- too hot. But I do love them. This one has such a gorgeous color!

ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
