Poppies are beautiful. This isn't my picture, but it is a picture I love.

About three weeks ago we took pictures of these spring ephemerals. Both have now gone to seed and will be gone in a few weeks.
They are the Blood Root.
And Trout Lily
Happy I was able to see them when I had the chance.

Nice poppies, but I like the house better.
What I want to know is what was originally on the right of the house- where there's siding between the brick columns? It looks suspiciously like it might have been a port-cochere. Ya'll know I'm a sucker for a house from that era.

Looks like it used to be the garage but was closed in to make an extra room.Denny wrote:not behind the house
where the siding with the triple window are...on the right side
I'll have to try to take some pictures of our flowers - the lilacs are just starting to bloom, the early tulips are done, some of the mid-season tulips are coming out, and it's still too early for the peonies and iris.

Talk of "House" (one of my favorite TV shows) aside, I supposed that Talasiga would be happier if I renamed the thread "House with poppies". When I took the photos of the poppies, I had intended to focus more on the poppies and less on the house. However, the closeup photos all had my unintended reflection in the house windows, so rather than retake the photos, I went with the more distant photo which included the whole house.
To answer questions about the house, the house was built about 1930. There are a number of similar (but not identical) brick houses with steep roofs and rounded front doors in our neighborhood. It evidently was the style of a prominent builder in the area during that time. The part of the house in question is now a small sunroom with windows on three sides. French doors separate this room, which is now being used as a beauty shop, from the living room. I am not sure what this room may have been in the original design of the house.

To satisfy my friend, Talasiga, I decided to take some close-ups of the flowers in my front yard. The flowers are poppies, columbine, and iris.
Also, in reply to an earlier inquiry about the house in the first photo in the thread, the area between the brick columns on the right side of the house was originally a porch. I discovered a nearly identical house by the same builder not far away. It still has the front porch between the two brick columns, although it looks like students are living there now. The porch is cluttered with junk, whereas our junk is now hidden behind the front siding.
