California Poppies

Poppy Song

Poppies golden poppies, gleaming in the sun
Closing up at evening, when the day is done
Pride of California, flower of our state
Growing from the mountains, to the Golden Gate.

New Irises ordered in 2019

I can't believe I am ordering 6 more Irises from Superstition Iris Gardens in Cathey's Valley.
One of them I used to have and then lost it 3 or 4 years ago.  "Dusky Challenger" is a beautiful color.

The others are new to me.  Spring Bliss; Daughter of Stars; Evening Rounds; Reckless Abandon and Pumpkin Cheesecake. They will be delivered the first part of August.  Now I need to find a place to plant them.
