Last spring I took a pot of flowers which I had bought at Walmart and stuck it in the garden to add some instant colour. And there it sat, blooming happily all season. However, I did not expect to see any of them again! Granted, it did say the flowers within were perennials but . . . I was skeptical and it didn’t matter anyway so I simply enjoyed them for what I thought would be one year.
So now I have this lovely poppy blooming it’s heart out. There have been about 12 blooms so far and I see no end to the buds. Don’t you just love it when something like that happens? They look almost fluorescent against the sea of green that is my garden. It cheers me every time I walk by.
An unexpected gift.
To masz wspaniałą niespodziankę i piękne kwiaty, a my świetne zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam.
That you have a wonderful surprise and beautiful flowers, and we great photos. Yours.
I love poppies from their buds to their blooms until they are done…and what a pleasant surprise to have them smile at you again this year. Beautiful images of that beautiful flower!!
I love poppies. Your photo’s are beautiful!
Beautiful Barb. I need some poppies in my garden these are gorgeous.
It is very difficult to capture poppies in the sunlight without over exposing the light area … you did it perfectily. I am impressed … to say nothing of loveing the Poppies … they are beautiful. Lucky you that they came back :)

Yes, I can imagine they must be standing out against that lovely mass of green you showed us in your photos last week – lovely shots of them.
Fantastic photos from your poppies. So beautiful and open. I find, it is really difficult to catch poppies in the right way.
Kind regards, Synnöve
Oh, I love poppies! They make me think of my grandma’s house. I tried adding them to my garden once, but they didn’t do well. Maybe I should try again. Your photos look beautiful :)
nothing better than their vivid color! :)
Love the vibrant color of these. Beautifully captured and composed. Thanks so much for sharing with Flower Art Friday!
Such wonderful pictures of the poppies!
They are so pretty huh? And that color is just amazing.
Great shots♥
What a gorgeous color! The seed heads on these always remind me of a pepper shaker. So glad they grew for you again.
Beautiful flowers!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to see your garden in bloom!!

OH, I love poppies. So bright and happy. Nicely done.
A pleasant surprise… they look lovely.
Stunning! – These are Iceland Poppies (sadly mine did not weather our winter) but yours are so bright and cheery.
Gorgeous poppies. I love the color.
I deliberately scattered hundreds of seeds from three different varieties of poppies one fall…not one plant came up in the spring! Your perennial poppy is so colorful…so beautiful.
I have sowed poppy seeds at least 6-7 times and not a poppy has shown up yet in my garden. I may have to try the pot from Walmart trick! Love them!
No poppies in my garden…I’ve planted them several times….so I know what a treat it is to get them back. Good for you.
The last poppies …. I love them! Thank you! . I wish you a wonderful sunny weekend last spring this year! Julie ♥
So pretty and vibrant.
Oranged!
SO gorgeous! The color really pops… Thank you Barb, for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #35!
