pretty poppies

for the last 4 weeks in a row (um, yes, 4 weeks in a row is a big deal at the house of froon), when i've gone to the sf farmers' market on saturdays, i've bought fresh organic flowers.

first week, it was tulips. gorgeous and enormous!

second and third weeks, it was ranunculus (ranunculi?). i love them; they remind me of english roses, only brighter and more colorful.

this past weekend, it was poppies. i have to say, they're beautiful. i was lucky enough to buy 3 bunches that were more or less completely closed up. if you get there before 9, you're golden. (you can all pick yourselves off the floor. YES, i was up before 9 am on a saturday. *sheesh*).

they've been opening up over the last few days, and i just love them. i managed to take a picture of them tonight, which i've posted below. (the camera battery is dying, and we have *no clue* where the charger is.)

the photo really doesn't do them justice. they're beautiful!
