Western Poppies
… western Poppies seem a little less subtle, a lot more anxious for attention. They come on trees. They are brightly colored. They cover hundreds and hundreds of acres. The have flowers as big as saucers. And they are out in the open, covering hillsides, filling in roadsides, daring you to not see them. They are as loud and brash as their eastern cousins are quiet and somewhat bashful.
