Jolie fleur, j'aime la forme de ce qui reste lorsqu'elle est fanée.

Beautifully captured.

lovin' the flowers

I love this, Bill.

[when will you begin the harvest?]

How right you are

If you say so. I like the textures in the floppy bits around the bit in the middle (ah.. yes.. petals).

This is a wonderful picture; so much to see and so clear. I just keep looking at it.

It’s a fine picture actually.

as i viewed this image, it occurred to me that i've only seen this variety of flower in the bud stage. i did not know what the bloom looked like. they are quite unique and your capture is lovely.

It’s called an opium poppy ... over my ten or so years of Shutterchance I have posted these several times.

very nice composition Bill.

That makes for a really good picture.

I have the same ones and I can say the exact same thing as R Trim.

Indeed it is - one of the domesticated varieties I assume.

This is so pretty - I love the how you captured the seed pods with and without the petals!
