j'aime beaucoup cette composition.... j'aime les coquelicots pour leur couleur, et leur fragilité.....et les voir dans les champs est le signe que les beaux jours reviennent enfin...
Magnifique

Merci beaucoup.
Je les aime moi aussi. Je pense que c'est exactement cette fragilité qui m'a toujours fascinée.
Quand j'étais petite, j'aimais dessiner et peindre les coquelicots.
Je ne cesse pas de prendre des photos.
Malheureusement, les fleurs sont plus fragiles cette année. Elles sont presque partout envahies par des ravageurs. Trop dommage ...

je n'ai jamais dessiné de coquelicot (ou d'autre choses)... je ne suis pas douée pour ça
mais je les cueillais et bien sur, au bout de quelques heures ils étaient fanés... depuis je les laisses sur pied mais je les photographie à fond !!
ici c'est pareil, ils étaient moins beaux, et tout aussi couverts de bestioles...
le climat sans doute.. je ne sais

Je ne suis pas douée non plus. Malgré tout je dessinais, mais je n'ai pas dessiné depuis quelques années. Il faut l'essayer.
Nous avions des grands coquelicots de jardin oranges quand j'étais petite.
Ils semblaient plus solides mais étaient tout aussi fragiles lorsqu'on les cueillait.
La couleur était si joyeuse.
Je suppose, moi aussi, que c'est le climat. Nous avons eu un long hiver, mais un printemps trop court, maintenant, tout fleurit trop rapidement, et les bestioles ont hâte de tout ramasser.

les crayons et moi on est fâchés ^^ même pour dessiner un smiley, je fais tout de travers xd
j'espère que l'année prochaine sera mieux... il me tarde déjà

Never enough! I really love the reds. I'm so used to seeing mostly orange. Reds are so pretty! If I ever have another garden, I will grow some. I also love nasturtiums, which come in oranges and yellows and reds. So sturdy. I still remember when I was unable to get one season to replant the bulbs and annuals, and the garden slowly died away... but the nasturtiums hung in there, to cheer me... as did ornamental strawberry... a primrose or two... cherry tomatoes reverting to the wild... in that first home I owned. In the last place that I lived with the ex/son, the herbs were the last to go, and dill around a patio post, straggly white allysum up on the bank, and a dainty scentless thornless rose bush that was there before we moved in, and the nasturtiums... other things... I worked so hard to bring back the lawn, to add some foliage and flowers... and it all died away so fast... weeds overtook the place... symbolic of the marriage that had come to an end... as I finally lived alone before moving away.

I have always loved poppies. Although, I have to say that I was a little bit afraid of them because of the Wizard of Oz (you know the scene where everyone falls asleep
We used to have huge dark orange garden poppies in our garden.
I'm jealous because you have these beautiful Californian poppies (Tea has some great shots of them).
One year I had a lot of nasturtiums (I had to look them up, because I didn't know the name
The bees like them a lot, and you can use them for salads and food decoration.

I got to see quite a bit of orange CA poppies (our state flower) this spring. There were clumps everywhere, especially along the many roads here that don't have sidewalks. It's amazing how they grow in terrible soil that looks like it's been bone dry for long time, yet there they are. Maybe not as lush with green in those spots, but the blossoms are lush.
Somehow the garden nasturtium I grew in abundance in all my yards were not as good-tasting as I had hoped. Quite peppery. If picked when plentifully watered and when young, they weren't so potent. I don't recall the bees loving them any more than other flowers, though I could see why they would. I think there was a butterfly that liked them, might have laid some eggs, think there may have been a caterpiller or inchworm or two? I don't recall aphids. They seemed quite resilient to what other plants weren't. Perhaps they had naturalized well enough, as they reseeded themselves not just year after year, but all throughout each year. And with much neglect, in spots I didn't get water on them very often. Sometimes they'd be so neglected they'd appear to outright die, but soon as more water, up shot some more tender sprouts. They are such a cheerful plant. Faithful.

I remember that in some seed mixtures labelled "flowers for insects" there's always nasturtium.
Some say that nasturtium does even keep parasites away from bees.
Some sorts seem to be less spicey than others.
I don't have these blossoms this year though. Maybe next year.
I don't feel like gardening at the moment.

I didn't know that about nasturtiums. I'll try to remember that. Perhaps I once knew, which is what got me to planting it in first place. But have since forgotten. Like I said, my last outside graden was mid 1980s.
I used to plant a lot of chrysanthemums because they are what the insecticide, pyrethrums, comes from. I don't think I ever went so far as to dry and crush and mix the blossoms? [link]
And I always planted marigolds because they are hardy and purportedly ward off various insects. This species of it. [link]
Ditto to garlic. But after reading this, I don't think I ever used the leaves. Do you? Probably because they were fairly useless by the time I pulled up the bulb to dry and store. [link]

Geez ... now that you're saying it.
I totally forgot about the potted chrysanthemums. I wanted to have some this year.
I have no luck with marigold. One year I had put seed of the medical marigold in the garden, but the bugs and worms just displaced it everywhere. It never really grew.
As for the garlic, I have never tried to plant it, but one day I'll try for sure. I guess with our soil it will be quite difficult. When we were on a trip with the kids last week, we visited a herbal garden too. The woman in charge told us that you can use the leaves - I never did either.

We watched it only three days ago.

Remember the scene with the poppies? I take it the ones near you are not the narcotic type?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I was a child, I believed I would fall asleep when I get near the garden poppies that we used to have back then. Of course, nobody would sell the narcotic ones

Just kidding
No experience here.
I'm more on the precautious side of the life.
I've had a blackout after drinking a glass of absinth though.
That's all

If it was the real stuff, good for you. You are not missing out on anything. The greatest joys in life are the simple ones.

I can't tell if it was real. I remember that it was shortly after absinth was available again.
I still remember sitting at my friend's sipping that green stuff, and my next memory is of me being at home again. My friend said that I walked back home, but I don't remember
To be honest, I don't understand why people enjoy drinking. I do drink a glass of wine from time to time, but I always had more fun in company when I didn't drink.

I used to enjoy drinking much more, but not as much anymore. I suppose drinking makes most company more bearable. XD. That is why people do it- a social lubricant.

If one has to drink to bear company, this must be the wrong company.

Yeah that is true. It can be hard to find people that have interests that are not mundane.

Give me something to sing about ... My ears are still ringing from the parents' get together at the kindergarten party.

Sing that it is the summer and you might get a respite from having to deal with taking your child to school for a while. XD

Ich finde Mohn total schön - wahrscheinlich knall ich mir die Festplatte damit voll, wenn nicht nach dem schlimmen Regen heute alles futsch ist.

Ach wo, der Mohn ist widerstandsfähig, der steht morgen wieder! Und ja, schön ist er allemal!!!

Die aktuellen Blüten sind mit Sicherheit hin, aber ich habe sehr, sehr viele Knospen gesehen.
Heute war so ein starker Regen, dass er gewiss die Felder umgenietet hat.

Bei uns hatte es kurz mal geschüttet, aber so heftig war es nicht...so ein heftiger Regen ist wahrlich nicht gut für Feld und Flur.

Dieses Mal kam es schon ganz schön dicke. Wenn schlammiges Wasser durchs Dorf matscht, ist es nicht mehr lustig.

Das hört sich nicht gut an... Ich hoffe, es ist alles noch glimpflich abgegangen!
