I’m dedicating this week (and a bit!) to my Poppies! 🙂
Day 9.
So for the last of my Poppy series week (for the moment!) I wanted to show this blushing beauty.
It has a green pod with translucent yellow radials surrounded by a Golden Halo of stamen, cupped by four crinkled petals that start from a pure white base and which gently blush rose-pink as they extend out. The sun was in just the perfect position for the last photo that i find mesmerisingly beautiful! 🙂

The petals look like they’re as thin as tissue paper. I love the last photo and the play of shadows. 🙂

Thankyou Sa! 🙂
Indeed they are but have the feel of the finest silk! – ever-so-slightly waxy also! 🙂
The sunlight was serendipitous- i think that photo is one of my all-time favourites.
