Have you a Papaver Orientale in your garden?
Then you know they keep bumble bees abuzz all meal time of them furry lil' plump buzzing creatures. I got one in my back yard and am always looking forward for late May and June since that's when they show off their red orange blooms. There used to be three of them plants but they were gnawed on so only one of them sprouted back after winter. Gnawed on by what you asked? Read on to find out.
Would you ever take having Oriental Poppies as your organic pesticide in your garden into consideration?

How To Grow Oriental Poppies in Your Garden
Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.
The photographs are breathtaking on the eSteem app....watched the video as well. Did you see there at the end as the bee was leaving the flower.....we really did get a good view of it......his atenae and wings and stripes. Darling......beauty.
Your poppy photographs are inspiring.
Have always wanted a patch in the garden.
Wishing you all the best. Abientotlater.
thank you dahlin
you still up?
I don't have an eSteem app
I admit I don't
forgive me @good-karma but my phone memory is almost full and you probably know why
I tried to take more videos everyday - this one has already faded and I already cut the stem
despite the frequent visit - it didn't really bear fruit
I want a whole field of this - they're so beautiful
I hope you get your whole patch
if I successfully get the 2nd one to fruit
I'd collect the seeds - send you :D?
Thank you for your reply.
You are very kind to think of bleujay.
Yes...the poppy is one of the most beautiful flowers......indeed they are captivating and reds are so difficult to capture on camera........having said that your photographs showed it well. No distortion of colour apparant.
Better luck next time. Yes....it seems they are very particular and take time to establish and so forth. One would never guess when seeing an entire field of them.
All the best to you. Saw your reply to htooms....should bleujay put in a good word for you.......what do you think.
A bientot.
hmm.. as for the reply leave it be wink wink
I was curious what its like to cast such a huge VI
but curiosity might kill this cat
I barely made it here today
but I want to stay consistently active so here I am again
but thank you for thinking about it
very sweet of you
how can I not be kind to you - among everyone I know of
from how they started here .. you were and always are grateful
you've outgrown me SP wise yet your head has never grown(many have and have already forgotten those who's helped them back but ces't la vie yes?)
how can I not be kind to you?
you are gold to have as a virtual friend
hopefully one day, we'd be bless to meet up for tea maybe in Versailles ahahaha
Lovely thoughts @englishtchrivy. Very kind of your to say so. You have your winning ways and have been a virtual friend indeed.
Versailles.....what a lovely place.....one my favorite locations of all time.
Although...bleujay did remind meesterboom the other day...we are all meeting up in Japan....hahaha. ^_^
Japan ?
oh Japan would be paradise
count me in why not?

You know me, I like spreaders. It's a challenge. If they can outpace the weeds I am happy!
And lol, yes, I am in bed!!

hahaha
prefer spreaders too not high maintenance and good ground covers
Definitely. My garden needs good ground covers!
Just setting the alarm the now then off to the land of nod :0)

Nighty night!
Is this popular plant to have?
I saw another post before with pictures of this flower.
Cannot remember from who though
maybe
I had one posted on - A Chart of Plants That Are Compatible or Can Be Planted Next to Each Other
that's one of the first bloom
this one's a third generation
the 1st year bloom is the best IMHO whether its popular or not
they look beautiful in a field
Ah... I think you are right.
maybe more pips posted
i saw one red - from Jaki something
reminds me of my friend afrog
Bzzz bzzzz, how noisy it was!! I love poppies and your phrase "I Am Perfectly Imperfect"!!
thank you glad you dropped by
that phrase is inspired by @richman
speaking of which how is that guy doing I wonder
Welcome!! :)
Don't see him around in a while....
i went to check his blog .. he's not there either :(
I hope he's just busy
Poppies are beautiful flowers. Someday I will try and find a place in my vegie garden for some to add color and attract pollinators. Thanks for posting.
