Oriental Poppy

26 Comments

I come from Turkey and Iran,

But live in other places,

I bloom as early as I can, 

Put smiles on many faces. 

 

My blooms are huge and orange red,

My buds are fuzzy green,

Enhancing every flower bed,

Because I am the queen.

    They are gorgeous. We had a hill filled with them in one of our houses.

    Lovely poem, Anneli. Poppies are wonderful. I had a lovely ping one that grew from seed in a previous garden.

    Dear Anneli
    We have lots of Oriental Poppies in our garden. They spread like weeds, but they make every flowerbed look friendly because of their colour. We love them.
    All the best
