Double Russian Poppy of Some Sort


I was given this dead looking root from a local flower shop for free two years ago. I was reluctant to take it because I didn't know anything about it or have any real place to put it. Well I stuck it in a small corner of dirt next to our stairs. The first year it became green but not one pod blossomed. Last year a few little pink flowers popped open. This year we were able to enjoy its full beauty. The boys frequently commented on the big pink colored flowers. I wanted to catch a picture of how big and beautiful they were so I talked the boys into posing for me. The pictures don't do the plant any justice but next year I hope some one will come and see it for themselves.
