The Poppies Are Abundant

As Georgetown, Texas approaches their Red Poppy Festival this weekend, it seemed like a good time to visit the flower the city honors each year, the red poppy.   The bright red flowers are all over the place this spring, in public places like Edwards Park, and front yards, where Mark Moss has a good crop this year, too.   Red poppies, like our Texas bluebonnets, are essentially weeds, but they’re weeds we like in these parts.   Enjoy them while they’re here.

    Again I find myself wondering if you would sell prints! My daughter LOVES red poppies and would be thrilled to have a print of one of these.

      You’re quite welcome! Alas, the paper had a production problem, thus the b/w photos. Thankfully, it’s in glorious color on the site.
