New to me this year, the absolutely stunning: Papaver rhoeas ‘Pandora’

The ever popular Papaver somniferum

A slightly disappointing form of Papaver orientalis ‘Royal Wedding’ (from seed)

Fabulous. Poppies are such beautiful flowers.
Thanks. Yes and nothing better than bright red fields full of them!
Newton? In England? I was born and raised in Newton, Iowa!
Yes … just down the road from Cambridge (UK obviously). Coincidence!
A fabulous set of shots and I can’t imagine a better title!
Cheers Tina. I know that I have a tendency to cheesy or newspaper-style titles. 😉
LOVE! Esp. that red-hot field of poppies.
The best, yes! I think that every year there is one field around here sown with wild poppies … you just have to find it.
All the poppies are gorgeous, I especially love seeing fields of poppies, luckily they are quite a common sight here.
How lovely! Does that mean that the fields aren’t sprayed with so many chemicals?
Some
Nobody can resist poppies. Gorgeous.
Certainly not me!
