Poppies

108 flower a

My attempt to change part of my lawn into a flower meadow hasn’t been all that successful. No poppies to be seen.  So I enjoyed the display of poppies on the kerb of the road in a neighbouring town, and not just read ones.

and the real thing.

Orange is possibly my favourite colour.  I also really like red hot pokers, tritomas, poker plants, Fackellilien (torch lilies), Kniphofias or knofflers – whatever you want to call them.  How could you not like such a brilliant flower with such names!

Nancy over at A Photo A Week wanted to see some photos displaying orange.  More orange photos can be found here.

18 orange (640x480)

I happen to live in an area with one of the mildest climates in Germany.  There always were lemon trees in the local park, bearing fruit but not fully ripe at the end of the summer.  This year I was stunned to find these oranges? lemons? orange-coloured citrus fruits?

The title is, of course, a quote from Clockwork Orange.
