We are in the midst of a peony and poppy explosion, so I am a little late with this week's fresh cuts.

I did a little experiment--these poppies rode in the truck to Jackson and back last Wednesday. I popped them in the cooler and then threw this bouquet together to take to yoga Thursday evening. I took this photo an hour ago--it is Saturday morning and I am rushing to get this online! I wanted you to see that poppies can make an excellent cut--these little babies look great after a lot of abuse you would not dream of. I shipped 50 stems of the white poppy to Salt Lake City overnight--I'll let you know how they fared.
...So let's start with poppies:
