I like the poppy too. I didn't know you raised California goldens though.

Horizon, love when the summer flowers start. the rain? well. . . .
Sara, these little red poppys come up in the strangest places, self seeding here and there, origionally they were deliberatley seeded into one place with a 'poppy day' packet.
Granny, the claifornia poppy comes up itself now, I think they started off in a seed mixture.
Frankie, I'd agree with that one but am unsure of how and who to coantact!!

Funny how you're having too much rain, like we were this time last year. while this year we desperately need some good rain! Wish I knew who to contact. Well, I do, but He does His own thing...and we have no choice but to go along with it :)
That's an unusual monarda. Very pretty. My self-sown poppies are not very prolific this year with the dry weather. Yours are beautiful, as are all your flowers.
I love the color of that clematis!
