Have you a Papaver Orientale in your garden?
Then you know they keep bumble bees abuzz all meal time of them furry lil' plump buzzing creatures. I got one in my back yard and am always looking forward for late May and June since that's when they show off their red orange blooms. There used to be three of them plants but they were gnawed on so only one of them sprouted back after winter. Gnawed on by what you asked? Read on to find out. Would you ever take having Oriental Poppies as your organic pesticide in your garden into consideration?

Thank you for posting @englishtchrivy.
The photographs are breathtaking on the eSteem app....watched the video as well. Did you see there at the end as the bee was leaving the flower.....we really did get a good view of it......his atenae and wings and stripes. Darling......beauty.
Your poppy photographs are inspiring.
Have always wanted a patch in the garden.
Wishing you all the best. Abientotlater.

thank you dahlin
you still up?
I don't have an eSteem app
I admit I don't
forgive me @good-karma but my phone memory is almost full and you probably know why
I tried to take more videos everyday - this one has already faded and I already cut the stem
despite the frequent visit - it didn't really bear fruit
I want a whole field of this - they're so beautiful
I hope you get your whole patch
if I successfully get the 2nd one to fruit
I'd collect the seeds - send you :D?

Thank you for your reply.
You are very kind to think of bleujay.
Yes...the poppy is one of the most beautiful flowers......indeed they are captivating and reds are so difficult to capture on camera........having said that your photographs showed it well. No distortion of colour apparant.
Better luck next time. Yes....it seems they are very particular and take time to establish and so forth. One would never guess when seeing an entire field of them.
All the best to you. Saw your reply to htooms....should bleujay put in a good word for you.......what do you think.
A bientot.

Is this popular plant to have?
I saw another post before with pictures of this flower.
Cannot remember from who though

maybe
I had one posted on - A Chart of Plants That Are Compatible or Can Be Planted Next to Each Other
that's one of the first bloom
this one's a third generation
the 1st year bloom is the best IMHO whether its popular or not
they look beautiful in a field
