It's been a gorgeous few days in Edinburgh. Today we are back to clouds, but still have t-shirt temperatures. I was getting sunburned anyway (as was most of the fair-skinned population, it seems), so that's cool. The weekend was spent basking in the sunshine (which lasts until nearly 11:00pm these days!), walking about the city, holding hands, hitting various farmers' markets, churches, castles, and making people sick by telling each other how much it sucked being apart for a week.
We also spied on lots of neighborhood gardens and discovered a rose tree two stories high, as well as this flower. Does anyone know what it is? Its AudreyII-looking buds are one for the scrapbook.

Looks like some kind of poppy. It's pretty, whatever it is!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Rianne. It looks like a poppy. There are several varieties, some which have ruffled petals.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a poppy. We've got them in our garden
ReplyDeletePoppy seems to be the concensus! I've grown poppies for years back in Kentucky, but have never seen anything like this one. The blooms are 4-5 inches across ... had no idea they could get so big. Learn something new...
