A Poppy Fights To Survive. In Sickness And Death

by Jon Katz

When I bought this poppy, the people in the garden store warned me the poppy had been left out in some severely cold weather, it might be sick or dying or just recovering.

He wouldn’t charge me for it so I accepted his generous offer and took it home.

The poppy looks wobbly  but not dead. Lots of water and some sunshine and shade. I love poppies, they are always beautiful, in sickness and in death.

Maria brought this home today, it’s a shade flower for her shade garden and was planted right away (not before I got the Iphone on it.) I think it’s going to be happy here in one of Maria’s gardens.

  1. I have no doubt you can revive that poppy and bring it back to life………..but that photo of the purple flower is absolutely stunning. Leica? iphone?

  2. I just found out a new feature on my iPhone 13. I take a picture of a plant or flower and very gently and slowly touch it and drag up. A Look Up Plant screen appears. I tap that and the plant is identified, with a link to a wikipedia page. You don’t need an app. You have to have a light touch on the picture when you scroll up. You may already know this–when I was shown this i went around taking pictures of all my plants!!
