You might be too young to remember that Joni Mitchell wrote and originally recorded Big Yellow Taxi. (My favorite part of the song starts at 2:00 in Joni’s video *wink) You may have heard Counting Crows version. Either way… we have poppies growing ‘in’ our sidewalk right now. It just goes to show that you can’t pave paradise at our house!

Rorybore says
Nature always finds a way!!
they are lovely – I really like this kind, I have ones that look completely different. very big – so big they can hardly hold their heads up. But very delicate too – the slightest gust of wind knocks all the petals off. This looks like a hardy variety.
Cathi says
California Poppies are hardy Rorybore. They seem to grow everywhere on their own And the little guys close up at sundown and don’t open again until sunrise.
Happy WW!

Cathi, isn’t it interesting how progress happens, but it can’t stop nature at work? Little seedlings will find a way to reach the sun so to not be forgotten while putting a smile to the onlooker’s face.
