 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is of one of my favorite wildflowers, Prickly Poppy but I am sharing it today because of the great bokeh.  Friday's Are Bokehlicious here on the Blog!

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's image is one of my favorites.  I spread some seed but they did not seem to germinate so will try again in pots (I may have accidently weeded them).  This is Prickly Poppy which produces beautiful white blooms in summer.  They usually bloom June through September.  They live up to their name and are very prickly so choosing a good spot for them is critical.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  This is one of my favorites and I would like to grow it even though it is prickly.  This is Prickly Poppy that I spotted while on a recent bike ride.  I need to remember to go back in about a month and collect some seed.  They bloom June through September and can grow as tall as 5 feet!  I'll have to pick a good spot where I don't have to get too close but can enjoy the flowers.  😊

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's image is one I just shot this past Sunday while bike riding out by Milford Lake.  This is a Prickly Poppy.  It looks a lot like my red variety, I wish I could figure out how to get them to grow in my yard.  I maybe would regret it with the thorns but they are a lovely flower.
