A few pics from the days before Summer Solstice...
A President Kennedy (methinks) purple hybrid tea rose at Sue & Hugh's... with Oriental poppies and an equally purple variety of
Sidalcea behind...
'Lollipop' lilies appearing in a burst of stars through a rain-weighted billow of
Centranthus ruber ... in my own garden...
...and a
Papaver somniferum, originally from Bowen Island, that reseeded in my herb circle...saving itself for a sunnier day. Everybody's grandma grew these opium poppies for poppyseed cake and the full-skirted blooms in the old-timey days. I love how everything has crept around this year, emerging in natural rearrangements around the front garden.
