It is fall down, pee your pants and die gorgeous.  Poppy's don't do well down south.  The bitter north has it's few advantages.  Enjoy them before you get snowed in :P

Did anyone reconize the Rose of Sharon bushes in the pot with these?  My friend gave me a bunch to grow and I put them in the planter so they were safe from the lawnmower!  I will put them in bigger pots next year and plant the bulbs in my flower garden.

I'm sure it is in a frame somewhere.  The pic is copyrighted so whoever took it knows it is good.
