Garden Portraits - Poppies and Clematis

The annual poppies (papaver somniferum) have been a delight this year. I sow the seeds at the end of winter and they never cease to delight me in late June and early July. I've been collecting seeds from my own plants for several years now and with cross-pollination, I never know what flowers will arrive. It's always so much fun seeing the varieties!

This is only my second Mosiac Monday hosted by Little Red House and I'm happy to share two garden mosaics this week!

The annual poppies...

...and the clematis! Here are just a few of the many clematis blooming in my garden right now. I had originally done this mosaic a couple of weeks ago but Little Red House was on a break and last Monday I was recuperating from hosting our gourmet group ;)

Please visit Little Red House for more beautiful Monday Mosaics!

I am inviting all of you to join me for my Garden Party next weekend! I would love to see your garden, your container gardens, your garden-inspired table settings or fresh from the garden recipes! Hope to see you here next weekend ;)
