Oriental Poppy blooms and Firecracker Columbines from a couple of days ago.

C&C always welcome.

Love those reds.

Nice job on the reds. Not easy to make that color look natural and at the same time inviting!

Thanks guys - I like the way the reds and yellows jump out of the endless greens in our back yard with this view.

You have a spectacular yard, Alan, and your photos make it come alive.

What a yard! Popping poppies.

Thanks - day lilies are just getting ready to come out in front of the poppies. I think the poppies are just about done now but the columbines just keep cranking out new blooms.
