I shot these photographs at Moose Creek, north of Whitehorse, while I was in Canada a few days ago, at the invitation of Yukon Tourism. I didn't notice the colourful little garden until I was ready to get in the car and drive away.
I was busy taking some unusual shots that I posted on Saturday at Rack 'Em Up and then I went out the back to get some shots of the timber huts and the trapper's cottage.
As an avid gardener, my attention was then diverted to this delightful patch of colour and the great mix of bright colours. I grow lots of colour in my own garden at home, but I've never tried poppies. Maybe this summer ....

Gorgeous flowers. Poppies are so special.
ReplyDeleteMine will be up on the cradle in a few hours. Odd shot and Monochrome on the usual one for Monday. Please come see if you get time. Thanks.
And how lucky you are that summer is coming up so you don't have to wait to long to try poppies!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love great pictures of flowers with others colors blurred behind them. Great shot!
Good avid gardener. Beautiful red flowers.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love poppies! And your post title is really funny, too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are great! Excellent photo! Here I see a lot of poppies planted beside the road. Poppies always make me think of Flander's Fields.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant burst of scarlet, indeed. Very nice background. Lovely photo shot.

They are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers
ReplyDeleteHaving grown up in California I always thought of poppies as being the orange variety. These "Iceland" type are quite beautiful too.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers. Beautiful colours. Once you have poppies, David, you will always have them, as they like to spread themselves about.
ReplyDeleteI think poppies are one of the few flowers that I haven't grown. These are beautiful! I love the deep, rich color. Very nice photos.
ReplyDeletesimply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDavid: Wonderful flower captures from the youkon.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to manage very well - I usually stick with moss...
