Description
Poppies. You better like them because they're coming back if you plant them. Year after year, and now spreading the length of my 1930's driveway. They, following the bulbs of early spring.
Use of oil effect to convey the dreamlike sway of tissue-paper petals held aloft on tall fuzzy stems.
Papaver rhoeas. The Flanders Field Poppy is a universal symbol of remembrance, inspired by the vast numbers of them that bloomed on the devastated battlefields of Belgium and France after World War I. In the garden, it adds a vivid splash of red to informal tableau's. Its waving wands of nodding fuzzy buds, delicate tissue-paper flowers, and tiny pepper-shaker seed pods are delightful from June through September. Annual. Summer flowering. Height: 2' to 3'. Average seed life: 4 to 5 years.

You're a lucky man, Joe, to have these beautiful Poppies as your welcoming committee! Captured and presented beautifully!

The oil paint effect worked perfectly Joe for that tissue paper feel that these flowers have! Love the bright red! Your driveway doesn't look a day over 1960's! :-)
