Where's Ed?

The plants and flowers in the bed down by the road are tall and lush. Finding over six foot Ed is a bit tricky.  I started with the easy one first so you know what you are trying to locate.

Now it's a lot more challenging to fine Ed.  Even dressed in white, he is nearly invisible in the picture, but I promise you he is there.

Gosh, I was sure he was there in this one. I purposely checked before I snapped the picture, but now I seem to have lost him myself.

He's in this one for sure.  I guess it would be good to click on the pictures to make them larger to improve your chances.  I spend a lot of time looking for Ed among the plants and flowers. I know they talk about losing yourself in the garden, but I'm always delighted when I find him!

It's pink poppy time again! These poppies come up every year from seed.  I'm just like Goldilocks when it comes to my pink poppies.  This one is nice, but it is too dark.

This one is pink, but it is a single and I know from my science classes taken so long ago that hybrids left to their own devices will return to type. I don't want that!

That is the reason that beautiful flowers must be pulled ASAP so that their pollen does not enter the mix.
 

This is the pink poppy I want. It is the one I found in my old garden years ago.  Every year I talk about pulling poppies. I hope I always will.  The original story of the poppies can be found HERE. That was my first post about pulling pink poppies.  I doubt if this one will be the last.
