Still no peonies but the oriental poppies in one corner of the house surprised us yesterday with this extravagant show. They were still tightly furled the day before. It must be the spike in temperature that nudged them into finally raising the curtains on the Grand Poppy Show. There are other poppies, less showy and smaller, already blooming elsewhere in the garden. But these ones! Rich purplish hearts like bruises, huge burning-orange petals. Galactic!
