What the hell.

What is this???, a photo by Leenechan on Flickr.

Yep, this is it. The Weird Poppy a.k.a. Fringed Poppy "Pink Confection."

I'm grateful for the free seeds, and I'm glad that my experiment at direct sowing poppies was a success. I knew that these poppies were going to be weird, but with no reference picture for the cultivar, I wasn't prepared for just how weird they were going to be.

Damn, these are ugly. The color is pretty interesting, but the flower is ugly.

On the bright side, I think that cosmos "Double Click Snow Puff" is a winner. The flower is even more gorgeous today than it was yesterday. Also, "Moondance" has seven flowerbuds.

I wasn't prepared for this poppy to be so ugly! ::cries::

Well, this is pretty.

It's Morning Glory "Heavenly Blue."

The trellises in the front yard only have little flowerbuds on them, so you'll have to tolerate the ugly backdrop of our deck. I don't know why this planting bloomed earlier than the rest of them. But hey, blue flowers are my favorite. I love morning glories. Next year I want to grow "Heavenly Blue" intertwined with the newer pink morning glories. Unless that looks too much like a decoration for a child's birthday party?

Another goes out for a walk.

I figure I should enjoy them because I'll probably never buy a doll again! Not that I'd never need to, looking at my shelves...

When I redress these dolls, I don't even bother to swap their outfits. I just swap their heads. XD
