Those are beautiful, although I'm not a flower person, we have only wild poppies that pop into our garden as and when they feel. ;D

Are those grown from seed? I might try them as my wife quite likes poppies. 8)

I will do you a deal GW, you save me some of the seeds from that nearly black one as a trade for the chilean glory vine seeds I am saving you!  ;D ;D ;D The vine is rampant and covered in flowers now - lovely!  I have my eye on a different coloured one, apricot with a red throat that is growing through a hole in  a fence down a lane I walk through....if it seeds, I shall be nabbing those!

Oh those are simply divine Greenwizzard! I adore poppies but don't have much success with them. I grew the red and white ones a couple of years ago but they never came back. I don't think they like my moist soil. I've got big orange ornamental poppies on the go at the moment - tangerine something or other. Keep your fingers crossed for me will you?

I love poppies.

The first pic reminds me of a Flamenco dancer's skirts.

I adore the pure white one.  I'll have to have one!!

I have a purpley mauve poppy that has sprung up all over the place. I don't know what it is or where it came from but I aint complainin!

Brilliant pics Gee Doubleyer!

the frothy cream & maroon poppies are from a mix called 'irish velvet' from mr fothergill's seeds

Great photo's GW. I think Heldi's description of the first red one is spot on. Well seen and well captured. Also like the composition of the comp photo.
What camera are you using ? and do you usually just leave it on auto or are you experimenting ?
When we came back from our holiday, birds must have kindly scattered some poppy seeds for us. Seem to be everywhere. Also not complaining. Will try and get a photo at the weekend if they are still with us.

I'm really impressed with the cameras ability. Thinking of buying a small digital camera for holidays etc. Dont have the macro ability on my slr unless I buy a lens to allow it.
Thanks for the info. ;D
