Disturbed Soil Survivors And Remnant Souvenir

This disturbed soil(sand) survivor most likely came from the soil
removed from my poured porch project last summer. The excess
sand was wheelbarrowed to the back of my backyard and then
brought back to level these pavers and from a long nap they
awaken.

It's been years since I last saw this specimen, the Prickly Poppy -
Argemone pleiacantha. This specimen has large white poppy
blooms with a yellow core. Once this matures the foliage turns
to a blue-gray.







You can see the bits of concrete in this recovered sand that was exhumed. 


Also found in this recovered sand is another of many souvenirs from when
this house was first built in 1927, a remnant from times past. A china chard
from a cup or saucer.
