The oriental poppies in my garden in May


 The oriental poppies grew along between the old garage and the old sidewalk.  Across the sidewalk is the fig tree bed.  The poppies are all finished blooming now.  I don't keep the heads for the poppy seed.  The part of this flower bed where the poppies grow does not look very good now.  The plants are dying down.  I need to find some plant to grow between the poppies that will cover the drying poppy foliage.  There are tulips in the spring before the poppies.  A rather large clump of lily of the nile at the far end that is coming into bloom now.   






 there are 3 shades of these poppies.  a pink, an orange and the red.  They all look good against the white of the garage.
