Very interesting image. Do you have Plume Poppies in your
garden. I think they are neat looking plants and I put a couple in my
garden. It took YEARS to get rid of them. Plume Poppies were
popping up all over the garden, yard and anything else with 25 feet of
a plant. :))

Thanks Barb :-)
The plant is in a pot (everything that needs TLC is in a pot at the moment).
Our French friends had them in their garden, we remarked on them and before
I knew it our friend had pulled a piece off his plant and presented it to
us. It lived! That was 3 years ago.
It always amazes me how hardy this plant is.
Thanks for the warning that it is hard to get rid of, I might just keep it
in a pot.

:-)

Probably a good idea. They spread by their roots and not seeds
so, if you keep it contained, your garden will be fine. :)

Aha, so if I do want to propagate it, I should take root-cuttings. (but keep
it in a pot)
Thanks for that important information :-))

Thanks Doris, that flower didn't look like much in it's original state. It
was fun to do.
