But at some point they dropped their seeds and we now have a beautiful orange poppy growing in the patio! That's right in the patio.... or rather in the dirt around the patio support! Certainly not where I ever thought one would grow!
Isn't it funny how I couldn't get them to grow when I wanted them to grow but Mother Nature has worked her magic and one tiny poppy seed has grown to produce a mass of stunning colour! I am looking out the back door while I type this and I can see them sitting up proud as punch in the sunlight.
I took the photo below yesterday and since then all of the other flower heads have opened up to show their faces to the sun. While I was outside with the camera I also took a photo of our roses in the front garden as they are in full bloom at the moment as well.
The wonder of Mother Nature.....
