Whoever had the foresight, 40+ years ago to plant that long sweep of Bridal Wreath Spirea (S. vanhouttei) in the house yard was a GENIUS; it's so gorgeous! The 'Flanders' Field Poppies' are blooming right on time for Memorial Day this long weekend.

Mom had those same poppies in one of her flower gardens.
Mrs. Augie got some of them the first spring after we moved into the new house in 2008. It’s amazing how well they reseed themselves and spread. Shame they don’t bloom for a longer period of time because they are stunning when they’re doing it.

The Bridal Wreath Spirea hedge is a great place for cardinals to nest! I hope you have some hidden in there!
