Almost a Poppy

[AlanLichty]

Our usual spring rains have been few and far between so I have set up our watering system to provide more reliable moisture. This an early bud of a bloom on a Poppy plant after an overnight watering. I liked how the water sticks to the hairy surfaces of this plant.

C&C always welcome.

This is really cool Alan! Great thinking on giving Mother Nature a helping hand.

There is so much fur on it, and they sure do hold the water drops well.

Thanks Jim - fortunately I started getting my watering system ready for summer early after the mayhem of having a new roof installed which disturbed just about everything around the perimeter of the house. The nice side benefit is having regularly scheduled rain decorating the blooms like this

Nice closeup with the water drops. Doesn’t matter where the water comes from - the effect is the same I.e. pretty good.

Thanks Jameel - agree that the source of the water isn't what counts. Just the resulting scene. These poppies may have full blooms with some real raindrops tomorrow morning.
