..to a field near you (if you live in Provence). I’m just starting to see the poppies that grow wild around here. Soon there will be fields of them.
There are iris growing wild as well.
Our very own, personal lilac bush. I’m sure they must grow wild somewhere too but I haven’t seen any.

ah is it springtime there? nice flower blooms!
And the lilac looks like lavender to me… Or maybe not. But yes, colour wise.

I think lilacs are my favorites in the spring.

Lilacs and poppies, I love them both but unfortunately they don’t grow in FL

I love the colour of irises, the colours in your photos are so bright and clear. Summer’s just around the corner.

Beautiful! Lilacs are one of my favourites! I love the wild poppys too.

I love poppies..my favourite flower I think. They are so elegant, unique and not overstated, very simple but beautiful. I almost bought that kenzo perfume just because it has the poppy on it!

Nobody photographs these the way you do!

These photos are lovely. I have Iris the same color blooming right now. They grace my garden in honor of my sweet grand daughter, Iris.
Spring is great.
Thanks for the refreshing photos.

Poppies are my favs but I have never been able to grow them where I’ve lived. Our lilacs are blooming too! Beautiful!

I caught glimpses of some red poppies along roadsides near Saint Raphael and I got so excited, just like last year. I don’t know what it is about the color but it just “wows” me. Maybe I need to look for a poppy-red wedding dress… hmmmm…

Just popping by to see what you’re up to. AND since my trip to Paris got canceled for this week, I’m here to soak up some Frenchness.
Gogeous flowers! I love lilacs, so I’m jealous you have them growing. Much too hot here in Florida, but I grew up with them in the Boston area.
