Pink Garden Pom-Poms

My pretty pink peony poppies did not show up in time for my Pink Parade for Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day, they wanted to make an entrance. And what an entrance it is.

Their stems may be wild and twisted (I wonder if they always grow like this, since this is my first experience with them?), but their blooms are gorgeous pink puffballs that make me smile.

Like so many of my flowers, these poppies were winter-sown and oh, so worth the effort.

I haven't seen that type before, either! It's really lovely and special! Btw, I got curious about your Scandinavian blog name - you live in the US, right? Do you have Swedish ancestors?

Thanks for stopping by Muum.

DD - Yep, I live in the US and nope, I have no Scandinavian blood. I'm just a fan. I've spent a few months in Norway and Denmark, with lots of trips to Finland and a few to Sweden.
