Poppy and Iris

 The late afternoon sun filters through the trees and acts like a spotlight in our front garden. Poppies and irises are the stars of this late spring show, petals transformed into glowing shards of stained glass. The poppies stand tall, with graceful curved stems that give them even more allure. I am happy to see a few more buds, perfect spheres that are ready to burst open and unfurl their crepe paper petals. The show will continue.
