Fuzzy Blue Poppy Leaves Break Ground
Yesterday, with the sun warming my back I dug through the dead leaves in my flower bed and found the first tender shoots of the Blue Poppy! After all these years, I am still in awe of the miracle of spring. I spent a delightful morning discovering the coming to life of my Iris bulbs, and a couple of Asiatic Lilies. It looks like all my Blue Poppies will return, Hallelujah! In three weeks we can plant annuals and vegetables. I’ll be putting some seeds before that, those that can withstand a light frost. We should be frost free by Memorial Day.
More tomorrow,
Gail Niebrugge, Alaska wildflower artist
