I found this poppy just bloomed a few minutes before I took out my camera and snapped pictures of it while bees are busy buzzing around it to sip fresh juicy nectars. From observation, bees this year in our garden is much fatter compared to last year. Maybe because we planted more flowers this year than last year. I think we pampered the bees this year with hope that pollination is better this year.
This two bees managed to balance themselves on this single poppy.

Very nice poppies...the color very beautiful, no wonder bees like to be the first visitor. Is it the same family plant for 'pokok ganja'? The flower looks similar. Just wondering, this plant also manage to get that thing...still thinking.
Beautiful poppies!
Hi All thank you for the lovely comments.
Orchid de dangau~ It is a relative of 'opium'. But the one I grow is just an ornamental one so it does not have other use then being pretty:).
Thanks for commenting on my blog in JAPANESE.
Your photos are lovely. I hope you don't get bite while photographing the last image.

I am definitely get some red poppies for this summer. They are one of my favorites as well.
Is no wonder the bees get pampered, you have a very beautiful garden.
Thank you very much for joining to the carnival! Is great seeing so many people join.
Haha... How good you are to observe that those bees are fatter this time.
You must be as good as me.
lol.
With snow on the ground here - our bees are nowhere in sight - no doubt those that survive winter are tucked up feeding on their stores. The poppies are just what I needed to brighten my white day!
Just spotted your link on Fer's blog so I won't have to call you MKG any more
Haha is funny Sue, I must declare myself guilty of the same for you. I only learned your name until now when I read your link. I can call you Sue instead of GLA.
Diana, I wanted to ask you something since the last time you posted some poppies. How tall do they get? I have start planing how I am going to arrange everything for next year.
Isn't it true that whatever flower is blooming currently seems to be the one that captures our attention the most! It feels like I just fall in love over and over again each day with each new bloom.
Great poppies (my dog's name).
I hope your kids apreciate the reason behind your gardening.
Those are gorgeous red red poppies !
I have a weakness for the oriental red ones .. we wait each Spring to see the show against my tall goatsbeard backdrop .. that red really pops doesn't it ? .. I am sure your little ones will appreciate having REAL food to eat from your garden .. it may set them on the right track for life : )

Poppies are among my favourite flowers and I see that the bees like them too!
What a wonderful colour. They look like they are made of tissue paper!
Beautiful photos! Wonderful colors!
I love the color of these poppies... exceptional! L
Gorgeous! I'm a beekeeper and like to grow flowers that my bees will enjoy, and it looks like this is a flower I should get. I hadn't noticed honeybees spending so much time on poppies before.
Beautiful, beautiful red poppies !!!
That is a great choice! I just put down poppy seeds and can't wait until spring to see them.
Y. Ikeda~ The bees in our garden has gotten used to me and I don't think the bees want to sting me as we have form a pact. I grow the flowers so they have juicy nectar & they help me pollinate our vegetable flowers.
Fer~ Thank you for hosting the carnival. The poppies can grow more than a metre tall.
Rainfield61~ Maybe it easier to snap some shots of bees now as they are bigger and easy to see from the lens. LOL.
