Just about...

I've planted perennial poppies in my garden every year for ten years.  Until last year, I've never had one survive the season, let alone bloom; but last year three made it.  This year, they're still alive and about to bloom.

So, without further ado - ten years in the making - I present to you my very first (almost open) poppy bloom.

Also, the first peony blooms finally arrived today too. Have I mentioned that I love peonies?  I really do.
