Della dogwood blooms

I thought there was a song about poppies. If you are feeling romantic, check out: http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/w/whenthepoppiesbloomagain.shtml.

But the big news is that the Della dogwood, named in honor of Dorcas's mother, planted after her passing, is in flower for the first time. My links not working, so here's a song about dogwoods: http://freelyricshut.com/tag/dogwood-bloom.

Dorcas gave me a garden sculpture. It's a poppy. The ribbon and tag will come off. Since the ground is frozen I couldn't sink it into the poppy bed. It's in the poppy bed, slid against one of the bricks (which came from the Milton/Lois estate in Kirkwood).

I love this abstract shape. Thanks, Dear! She got it at the garden shop close to Central Market.

Poppies were propogated on our Monterey property by my mother. We left them grow and they spread.
