The first poppy of the season

It's just beautiful.

One of the things I like about living in a place with such distinct seasons is that the flowers all follow a schedule. Early in the spring you get these first tiny bulbs which come up, I think they are snowdrops. Then it's the daffodils and tulips, then the forsythia is the first flowering shrub. Then it's lilac season in early May, they all seem to bloom at once and it's lovely. Late May/June you get poppies. We just took a walk yesterday and many people had planted their spring gardens.
