Iceland Poppies
Driving home at dusk and coming from a client’s in Beverly Farms, I passed this gorgeous poppy-filled window box at Gladstone’s jewelry shop on Union Street in Manchester, and just had to stop and take a snapshot. I thought the poppies would be beautiful in full sun, too, and made sure to drive the same route the next sunny day.

Aren’t they!–Violas (or mini-pansies).

Thank you so much! I want to copy this window box sooner than later. (Bring on the warm weather.) We live in Portland, Maine. Do I buy the poppies already blooming? And when do you think we can put these out?

Kim, I have to say that this is one of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever seen. I have no window boxes–or any gardening abilities–so am happy to enjoy this instead. Thank you so much for sharing it.
