Beautiful Virginia wildflowers.

I see these everywhere, especially when I’m going on and off I-66. I love how the bright red looks against the green grass. I keep itching to pull over and dig one or two up to take home and plant but a) it’s probably illegal and b) they just wouldn’t be the same planted in a bed as it does nodding merrily with a zillion of neighbors to the passing cars on a field of green. They look much better exactly where they are.

I still wonder what they are though. I haven’t gotten a very close look.

Anyway, it’s a little early for June, but there you go 🙂 If you don’t see it, refresh.

edit: I’ve since found out they are POPPIES!
