That's a real stunner Kerry ๐๐๐ผ๐

Nice to see the red ones ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ

๐๐ผ๐

@sieveheadsarah no doubt there will be plenty more judging by the buds ๐ theyโre all so different I get a bit fascinated with them ๐

I don't blame you Kerry, they're like a gift that keeps on giving ๐๐ผ๐

@sieveheadsarah that they are ๐งก

Your poppies look so healthy. Mine keep going yellow. Not sure if they're too dry or too wet.

@ublaszko I must admit they get watered twice a day since almost all mine died last year from drying up ๐

Oh wow, twice a day! I'm only watering mine every 2-3 days ๐ฐ I better keep up with it from now on. Only had 2 flowers last year ๐ฐ

@ublaszko they are in small pots though so even quicker to dry out. But keeping the soil damp has definitely helped them all

Ok good to know! Mine are in a window box so also drying out quickly. I assumed they were drought tolerant seeing as they're California poppies ๐๐

@ublaszko oh yeah! I never made that connection ๐

She is really pretty. #californiapoppy #eschscholzia #eschscholziacalifornica

@lovestogarden theyโre the most beautiful poppies! Do these kind grow wild around your part of California?

Not that I have seen Kerry. The ones I have always seen wild are the solid orange. The name, Mission Bells, refers to the Mission Bells that were placed to commemorate the 700-mile-long El Camino Real route linking the 21 missions, founded by Father Junipero Serra. It is part of California history. ๐

Gorgeous !!! Wow. ๐๐๐. I've never seen one before.

๐๐๐

That's a beautiful one ๐

@lovestogarden thank you for writing that, I had no idea they were named after something so significant. I like them even more now ๐ plants with stories attached always mean more, thanks Janice โบ๏ธ

@sherrisgarden thanks Sherri ๐ theyโre beautiful arenโt they ๐งกโค๏ธ

My pleasure. A little of my 4th generation native Californian coming out. ๐ ๐

@sieveheadsarah they keep coming ๐

Tag me in all of them Kerry, i can't stop looking at them, they're fantabulous!!!!! ๐๐๐
