You Can Leave Your Hat On

Thank you for all your good wishes in my last post. I'm still struggling on at the moment, it looks like this virus is a tough one to get rid of, though I am starting to feel a little better now so I'm hopefully on the mend.

Out in the garden, I found this poppy bud just bursting, it looks like it's got a hat on.

I was never a lover of poppies in the past but that's changed over recent years, I'm not totally sure why but I think it may be because they're such lovely flowers for brightening up the garden.

This is oriental poppy Brilliant, and it does indeed put on a brilliant display.

They make such good photographic subjects too.

How about you, do you like poppies or not, and which are your favourite varieties?
