A Gift To Me

For years I have thrown
Poppy seeds in the garden
and they do not come up.

This year I have 6 plants
that I have been guarding.

Early this morning I spotted
the first bloom.

Beautiful is the thought.
I smile
as I consider it a gift to me.....

    I keep trying to grow forget me nots. No luck. You have inspired me to keep trying.

    I love it when there are these kinds of gifts.

    I have my first gardenia bud and it looks like it will open tomorrow. I can hardly wait to take in its' wonderful scent.

    Have a lovely weekend ~ FlowerLady

    What a nice surprise for you. It's a pretty bloom. Is it a double? I had the regular old orange poppies at my former house and wanted a pale pink one. Those orange ones multiplied like crazy, but the pink one just stayed a single plant.
    Enjoy your gift...just in time for Mother's Day.
    Have a wonderful weekend.

    A rare enchantment for sure. I am thrilled for you.

    Being from Florida you man know I was unable to grow poppies.

    Georgia O'Keeffe gave me a love for poppies.
