These poppies won’t be around long. The first ones to blossom are already dropping their petals.
Today you can see them.
By next week most will be gone, leaving a confetti of orange.

Close at hand is this lovely iris.
I wish it would stay all summer, but it won’t be long before this iris will be a memory…and a photo.
