This head is heavy,
I bow waiting to rise,
timing in rhythm
with the sun on my eye,
please stay steady,
and I'm ready.
I erect my head
looking so peppy,
then my load explodes
looking so sexy,
pale orange
with a hint of smelly.
This is no poppycock
it's nature's
blooming poppy shock.

Dedicated to a special poppy.
Papaver atlanticum Flore Pleno

Such a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing...

@Redheadedgammy
Thank you!
This special poppy brought it out of me. It's small and delicate but packs a punch when it pops.

Cool beans lol

@Cutiebeauty
They look so weak yet raise their head to the sun and release a heavy burden.🙂

It's natural for us to rise to the occasion.

Love that two-toned iris.

DotLewis Level 7 Feb 25, 2019

@DotLewis
I was going through my iris photos and I don't have a good close up of the yellow ones.

@flower_nut That was supposed to be "two-toned". This kindle habitually "corrects" me, often in ridiculous ways. I've set it to "NO auto-correct" multiple times but it will not stop. 😟

@flower_nut middle bottom one... ❤❤❤

@DotLewis @Heidi68
I like the 5th one on the bottom row. I think it's called speeding again. The one with the strongest smell is the 1st one on the bottom row and it spreads like crazy. Most iris were given to us and are unknown.

@flower_nut I can't wait for mine to start blooming! They are coming up so not too much longer.....

@Heidi68
My iris are covered in a few inches of ice.

@flower_nut well that just isn't fun... I have them all over the place - I find it interesting the difference in growth.

@Heidi68
Looks like you have short and tall ones? I would pull off any dead or yellow leaves and remove debris from the base of your iris. Unless you're expecting more cold weather?

@flower_nut they say possible wintery mix on Monday.....

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by KilltheskyfairyI love all the information on the internet that makes me a better gardener…

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
