Did you know that Swans are mean and that <br />they leave giant messes. <br /><br />All of our wild geese are still with us. At the moment the little ones are eating our daisy flowers. They are welcome to them, we have many.

Most of them will be single blossoms and they don't have a scent but come in beautiful lavender and pink shades. I seeded them last Fall by broadcasting the seeds in between Lavender. My favorite poppy is the Shirley poppy. All are easy to grow from seed and all will do well in bouquets if you singe their stems. Hope you give it a try. You will be rewarded with a beautiful display.

However, this year there were a few Firsts. There is definitely a pecking order. Watching how they all work out their differences is a study in diplomacy. Thank you for stopping by.

Your flowers are gorgeous. Thanks for the tip about singeing the ends of poppies. For me, it was the scent of them that had me putting them outside. They weren't the single ones like you have; those don't bother me, but the double or peony head poppies. I've also heard them called opium poppies, so perhaps that's why the scent seemed stifling to me. I'm not allergic to any plants that I know of. <br />Enjoy your beautiful garden!Lorriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653026442945027184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305117665027937006.post-17679845880689485502018-06-11T13:04:14.974-06:002018-06-11T13:04:14.974-06:00The geese are so beautiful and you got amazing pho...The geese are so beautiful and you got amazing photos!
