a profusion of poppies

[turlough]

Not far from where I live there's a dry, sunny slope and right now it's completely filled with bright orange Oriental Poppies (Papaver orientale). It's an old garden flower here in southern Sweden and occasionally it seems to thrive in the wild too.

They're beautiful! I've never seen such a cluster of them before.

I have been seeing more poppies here in the States, lately, but they just don't seem to be able to thrive in my own yard. 💔

I've never seen such a large collection of them anywhere else! Judging by this location this poppy species like very dry soil and lots of sunshine.
