p.s. Save some of the poppy seeds if you can – they’re lovely in baked goods or on top of homemade breads! (peony poppies = papaver somniferum = opium – slash – breadseed poppy)

Gorgeous! The poppies – in case you or some readers don’t know – are called Peony poppies. I had some last year in an amazing salmon colour, but they didn’t come back, alas. Must buy me some more!!!
The daylilies are also astonishing. Nice what a bit of red does to suddenly make them extraordinary and not like the run-of-the-mill orange ones.

@Shady Gardener, I think yarrow is one of the unsung heroes of the garden. It blooms for quite awhile and I love its lacy foliage. A definite old-fashioned favourite of mine.

What a pretty variety of plants. I’ve never seen white yarrow, nor those pretty poppies that do, indeed, look like carnations! You’ve taken some beautiful photographs.
