In fact, after a very warm week, there were two poppies in bloom, out there. Here in California, that's a definite announcement of Spring. With luck (or, really, with planning, because I sowed masses of poppy seeds, and there should be some self-seeding from previous years), it's going to be a great year for them - from now until the end of May, which is when fire regulations mean that we have to cut all kinds of annual foliage like pretty wildflowers right down to the ground. So gather ye poppy flowers while ye may - at least metaphorically.
