"By the Fence" depicts Baba’s "Volunteer Poppies".

They were the wild ones that seeded themselves - usually on the other side of the fence.

These large poppies were a variety brought form Ukraine by early pioneers. The seeds were a staple in the pioneer diet - especially used for making "makinyk" poppy seed rolls.

"By the Fence" is part of Larisa's 'Baba's Garden" collection which was originally exhibited at the Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village - Summer 2002.
