If you’re looking for a pop of color in the garden throw in a few poppies. The orange ones are the most common, but I have white and Salmon color also. Last Fall I planted a couple of red ones. Can’t wait to see them bloom!
Last Spring we received a lot of rain and my poppies were so large.
I’ve noticed that the plants are thriving again this year and soon will be gracing our gardens with their cheerful blooms.
I decided it was time to bring out my ‘indoor’ poppies.
Just BEE cause the bee’s love poppies I added a few bee items. This pic was taken in my garden last year.

My large bee skep I bought in Williamsburg, VA a few years ago
Notice the bee on my stitchery and Mr. rooster?
The two little bee plates I got at D.I. for $1.50. There were three, guess who broke one? I have large plates that match so I nabbed them up in a hurry.
A year or so ago I bought a rug to go under my table. It brings in all the colors in my kitchen and I love it, but it limits me. I have so many cute quilt toppers that I use to throw on the table. Now, their just too busy.
I pulled out the scraps of drop cloth left over after making a cover for my ottoman and made a table runner. What do you think, like it?
So there you have it, My pop of color table.
Later this week I will show you the other poppy items I have in my kitchen. One item is vintage. I had never seen anything old with a poppy theme. I was thrilled when I ran across it.
Hugs,
Jann

I love your pop of color, Jann. My other absolutely LOVED poppies and had a whole bed of them that surrounded her two cherry trees. I was just past the clotheslines in a little sideyard and visible from the kitchen window. I think she got a lot of pleasure looking at those..there was not much time for dreaming as a busy farm wife. xo Diana
Gorgeous Jann,
I love my bees too! When in my gardens "I think they love me too because they BUZZZZ along doing their business and NEVER pay attention to me! I guess they know who planted "THEIR GARDENS",hehe!
Your table is TOOO PRETTY. I too love poppies and "NEED" to plant more. I would LOVE to have a full field of them like in the movie "Wizard of Oz" MINUS the sleeping potion.
I want to sit and chat with you at your lovely table setting. "You make the tea and I'll bring the crumpets"!
Big Hugs,
Donna
I love poppies! My sisters both have them in their yards and I think I really need to get some too. Your table looks beautiful! I love all that wonderful color and that red pitcher caught my attention right away...so pretty.
I've never noticed poppies growing around Smallville, so I'll have to check with the extension office to see if they'll grow here. I love those vibrant colors.
Your poppies are beautiful! Something I have not been able to get grow...darn!
You absolutely inspire me! Love the poppies, and your decorating!
I don't see that many poppies around here. I need to check into their growing habits as they are so pretty.
Enjoy your evening.
