(click image to enlarge)Once upon a time I planted a wildflower mix and a few poppies grew. Since then, poppies tend to sprout up here and there, wherever the wind may have carried the seed. I have spent the last couple years transplanting them from all these spread out locations to one raised flower box. I have to say I'm really enjoying the fruits of my labor - as are the honeybees.
Notice the bee curled into the center of the orange poppy at the bottom and how the red one in the center has petals dusted with pollen so that it almost glows? Little surprises. :)
Be sure to visit Little Red House to see all the beautiful mosaics!
I love your poppies, they are so pretty. Beautiful mosiac!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love poppies and yet we have never grown them in our garden...I may have to remedy that this year.
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty. Some day I will grow Poppies too. They are gorgeous as are your photos!
ReplyDeleteOmigosh, they are gorgeous! I've sometimes thought I might try to plant the poppy seeds off a bagel... lol. :)
ReplyDeletePoppies love to grow in my garden, so understand your love of the flower. Beautiful mosaic. Take care:)
ReplyDeleteI love poppies! Gorgeous mosaic.
ReplyDeleteI clicked your beautiful mosaic to see the marvelous detail & am impressed with the features you've captured!
ReplyDeleteVery, very nice!
My DH's mother grew poppies & I hear him say they are one of his most favorite flowers. We don't have any. I should remedy that.
Such a pretty mosaic of your poppies. I have never planted them, and it is lovely to see such a gorgeous display.
ReplyDeleteI love poppies. I enlarged your mosaic and saw the two busy bees with their legs full of pollen. Neat.
ReplyDeleteGlad that I enlarged the mosaic because I found even more surprises. Very nice job!
ReplyDeleteSunshine in a pkg. of seeds...perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteHi, Ohhh, pretty, pretty mosaic! I hope that you have a lovely new week!

Oh so very pretty. I love poppies and wish they could last a little longer in bloom but with your mosaic you keep them alive forever.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic! The poppies are gorgeous and love how you captured the bee!

Beautiful, wonderful, inspiring, love it!
ReplyDeleteLove your poppy pictures, I tried to get some blue ones started this year. . .I think my thumb is not green enough!
ReplyDeleteThey are most lovely! Happy Mosaic Monday.

I agree your labors are very fruitful. Love the poppies and the bee's aren't too bad either.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures!

Your mosaic is just lovely. I really like poppies as they remind me of home. Our local TV station runs public notices this time of year reminding everyone to report opium poppies to city hall for eradication. Yup, they apparently grow wild here on Awaji Island! (I'm going to have to check iPhoto and see how to make a mosaic of my own. Yours is so professional looking!)
ReplyDeleteOh, so pretty, gorgeous mosaic :)
ReplyDeleteI love poppies - so pretty! I planted a wildflower mix and the poppies in it are so tiny and delicate.
ReplyDeleteWonderful mosaic! You captured a bright sunshiny day.
