Oriental poppies in Alpine, Utah.
In 1910, George Cannon Lambert made a summer home and planted orange oriental poppies and a yellow tea rose next to his home. The house is now a ruin but the roses are thriving and the poppies have naturalized into the surrounding sagebrush and trees.
Landscapes are a rooted collaboration between man and nature, echoing & evolving across time. This is a lovely example.
