Many people welcome and celebrate autumn’s arrival, and I agree there’s much to be said for cooler temperatures. However, I’m not a fan of stuff dying off. I get that it has to happen, but what makes my heart soar is the new growth and bright colors after long, dark winters.
So today I take another look back at the poppies from my front yard. Look at all that glorious color and all that potential for many more blooms!
On this final day of September, I celebrate the exuberant poppy.

i wonder if having flowers in bloom year round is a plus or a minus…
but no, it’s a plus, i think

Well, for my emotional health I would definitely think year-round blooms would help! But I’m not part of the pollinating cycle, so probably shouldn’t get a vote. 🙂

You have a point. Maybe the year-round blooms should be something less sleep-inducing. 🙂

Gorgeous! I’m planting crocuses in pots this month, so I can get some springtime color in January. I was really pleased to see our local garden business now lets you buy bulbs in a paper bag – no plastic!

I like that idea! Maybe I should give that a try, too. And hooray for no plastic!!!
