1 more picture in a note above! :) This morning I went outside and was again surprised by beautiful poppies which continue to bloom in my garden. I planted them in April or May and the first blossoms opened in July. Here it is at the end of September and they are still blooming!! I can hardly believe it! Last year the deer mowed down all of my wildflowers so I didn't get a chance to see how long various flowers might bloom, but this year our motion-detecting sprayer has kept them away--well, except for a couple of disasters when I forgot to turn it on after watering! (Please don't ask me what's doing on with my seedlings...*cries piteously*...I don't want to talk about it!! :D) Even though I've posted plenty of poppy pictures, it's been a while, and these blossoms in blushed-white, red-tinged salmon, and pink are a lovely present to me and perfect for my Picture of the Day! :) Emanuel James "Jim" Rohn (September 17, 1930 – December 5, 2009) was an American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker.
