Welcome to our nano piece of paradise!
This is essentially a creative photo blog plus few words. It is about Sandra and Denny's gardens and surrounds. My granddaughter Adelyn calls me "Poppop", hence the blog name. We try to add new images once a week. Older posts are archived at page bottom. Click an image to enlarge. We're having fun. Please! Enjoy!

Wildflowers!

Several years ago we got wild and crazy and ordered a $10 bag of mixed wildflower seeds. We've done the same thing a couple of times since. We tried several locations, but the best choice seems to be in small compact patches, around posts or along the border fence. We know the identity of some, and others we simply enjoy "namelessly". The beauty and the variety are awesome and interesting. Plain beans and carrots in tidy little rows can get boring! Here are some of our wild flowers:

Eryngium(sea holly)

"bird's eye" (small 3/8") 
"five spot"

cone flower 

...  small flowers ...1/4"

 



shasta daisy

  poppy

And finally, the MOST beautiful flower of all... my granddaughter, Adelyn!
