Poppies

We have poppies blooming in our yard (or "garden" as they say here). I don't remember seeing them last year. Maybe I was still in the first-year fog of being here. I think they are poppies, I've only seen the fake kind that they sell on Remembrance Day and these look like them, only real. See what you think:

Silk and plastic poppies are sold here during November for Remembrance Day or Poppy Day, our version of Veteran's Day. Here is a photo of the kind they sell here:

Growing up I remember they were made of crepe paper. Our poppies look and feel very much like crepe paper. I'm enjoying the real deal.
