    This is the opium poppy (one type) , and the first bloom of the season. Notice the sort or lettuce like vegetation. This is distinct from the Shirley poppies which have a thinner appearing vegetation. I grow them for the beauty of the flower and they attract bees with a vengeance.

    A new flower out today. It is called Danish Flag by some. There were a few bees around also.
