Long stemmed things of beauty

 When I promise you mo' blooms from the mo's garden, I deliver. These are Oriental poppies just outside my little sunroom. Most of their lives they look like weeds, but now is when they put on a gaudy, short-lived display of pretty. See how I paired them with the bamboo chimes? Don't you think the Asian motif gives my backdoor some pop? Posted by Picasa

I'd have to see your backdoor, first--to really determine if an Asian motif is appropriate pop. What about an Italian influence?

Your backdoor has me going pop ;-)

Well, MG, the around-the-world trip (a pipedream?) starts and ends at my backdoor, so I guess that means I'm up for anything.

I thought I heard something back there! ::looks over shoulder::

How do you feel about a hot sudsy shower with Caswell-Massey's 'lemon verbena' soap? Just thinking aloud here in the early a.m....

I love poppies. What is the next to add for your Asian motif. Peony? Certainly poppies and peony just thrive here in Ohio.
