No, these are green. I also grew some Spanish black radishes.
Merry Christmas

Last year I purchased a potted Poppy plant that, despite my best efforts, proceeded to dwindle and die.  At least it looked to be dead.  I could sense a small spark of life in it though, so I transplanted it into a spot out back.  Winter came and I forgot about it until this spring when I was surprised by this poppy bloom.  It almost seems grateful that I saved it.  I can see kind of a happy face on it.   
Very nice! My Spousal Unit loves oriental poppies...when they're in bloom. Every year at some point when the greens would sprout up he'd think they were weeds and spray them when I wasn't looking. I swear we had that conversation every year for about 5 years.  :( I've decided he only likes them in other people's yards.
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I've been neglecting this thread. Here are my Japanese Wasabi Radishes (not real wasabi) from a couple of months ago. Good both raw and fermented.

Radish kimchi?

So far my poppy plants have not returned to visit me in 2020. :'(

Exactly. They’re also good raw, sliced, dipped in hummus.
Merry Christmas

Green and black. More things I had no idea about.    :)

I wonder if the Soviet Union symbol was intentional.

It could be.  Communism was much in the news back then.  Or the cartoonist might have been hard pressed to find a gardening implement to help form the 'R'.  Guess we'll never know.

The first rose of my White Rose of York plant opened several days ago.

Wow! I’m just starting to get leaves here. But my fruit trees are blooming so it must be Spring!

I'm glad to hear that, Dot.  What kind of fruit trees?  Apples?
