For me , they are all the more wondrous because they were not `created` .

But i certainly agree that they are shockingly beautiful.

Thank you MS!
Not sure what it is, their are a few(1/2 dozen) growing wild in an adjacent field behind my property. They do look like a poppy.....Yes I just googled it and it is a red poppy. I was intrigued with the "crown" center.

Just took some pics here at a park and thought I'd share.







Does anyone know what this tree with shaggy white blossoms is? It is about 8 ft tall and heavily fragrant, a real powerful sweet smell.

I don't know the names but I was glad to see all of these today.
Feel free to add some of yours

Peace,
spec

Boyfriend's cactus gave us a present after we replanted it.
Plants really do communicate with people who give them care.

It looks to be a White Fringe Tree, Chionanthus virginicus. USDA plant profile
