An Underused Plant

In Modesto, Pansies get pride of place for the Winter and Spring garden. With the many colors and dense blooming habit its hard to resist.

This afternoon though I walked outside and looked at some Iceland Poppies that Donna and I planted this fall.

The soft colors are simply not reproducable with any other flower. The crape paper flowers look like they would disolve with the slightest rain. A little sun and a slight breeze makes them wave and shimmer. I have to say I think they should be planted more.

If you would like to take a look at a planting drive by the nursery and take a lookat the planting we have. If you prefer you can pull intoi the parking lot and walk by and really see them!

While you are here stop by and say hello!
