The Flower

Greetings Everyone! 

Hopefully you read my post yesterday and saw this very cool flower that has started to bloom from the bottom. I was so anxious to see what kind of flower it truly is. 
I took this photo yesterday at around 7AM.
I had a doc. appt. at 9:30AM, it was very short and was home by 10:AM. I pulled the car into the back yard and as I walked around I saw that this flower had bloomed in full force. I was so excited! I ran into the house to get my camera.
Can you believe this is a poppy?
 
I had to stand in front of it to block the sun


Here it is at 4:30PM. If you click on the photos you can see the pink at the bottom. 
I love this flower.
Also, for those who commented about the flowers on my tomato plants this early, is because I have them in the greenhouse. Last year, I had tomatoes outside and they did not fare well in my Oregon coast weather.
Last Thursday we drove to Salem, OR. While I waited in the car for Mr. M. to get his doc. appt. I drew this person. Just someone out of my brain. 
some strange little dude for sure. LOL
 
Have a great day today.

Oh, the “strange little dudes” that inhabit your brain. He looks like a Munchkin out of costume. Lol. The poppy is lovely, amazing how fast it bloomed!

Nicole,

Usually, we see poppies planted in the medium along the Interstates around here. It's really breath-taking to see such cheery little flower heads greeting us in our travels. It's cool how stray flowers wind up in our yards, isn't it? Nice sketch of the dude - very realistic.

I love poppies too. I've got some yellow ones out at the moment and my big perennial pink ones are in bud.

Hi Nicole, I was just about to say it looks like a poppy then I scrolled down.. My favourite flower of all such a shame they do not last too long. I have a random poppy growing amongst my garlic, not sure where it has come must have been carried in by the wind, I hope it comes in to flower. That's a great sketch love that side way glance.
Hugs Tracey xx

It's amazing that bud turned into a gorgeous poppy. Wonderful indeed. Also great that you took time to draw this little guy. You make great use of your time, dear.

Have a feeling you drew that dude well, even though I don't know him in real life. 😉
