Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Poppy garden

This is such an amazing place to be, especially at this time of year, when the Poppy garden is still in bloom! This is just one very tiny corner of Jim Coutts' beautiful homestead garden, south of Calgary, near Nanton. A few of us visited for part of yesterday - must admit that I made a bee-line straight for the Poppies! When we made the annual trip last year, it was in September, and the Poppies were finished, to my great disappointment. It felt so good to look up and see BLUE sky after the "summer" we've had : ) Thanks so much to Jim for letting us descend once again upon his property! We enjoy and appreciate it so much. After lunch, we headed off to botanize a hilltop of prairie grassland belonging to Rob Blades - thanks, Howard, for leading us there and also letting us botanize the little bit of your land that we had time to enjoy.
