part of a vast maturing rapeseed field completely overrun with wild poppies. I often wonder how the seeds get separated by the farmer at harvest time.
Mauve/pink Poppy with lots of layers of petals.
Raining here thank goodness.
Have a wonderful weekend.
It was a great experience to be stood in the middle of this field on Sunday morning. The only downside was not knowing where to point the camera, as the views in all directions were stunning.
It was a rather grey but nevertheless decent light for these poppy images. Lighting was a bit difficult in some views but fairly even in others.
The poppies up the East Neuk of Fife today were outstanding, never seen them so good since I was a child
The Giardini Botanici Villa Taranto (16 hectares) are botanical gardens located on the western shore of Lake Maggiore in Pallanza, Province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola, Italy.
The gardens were established 1931-1940 by Scotsman Neil McEacharn who bought an existing villa and its neighboring estates, cut down more than 2000 trees, and undertook substantial changes to the landscape
Today the gardens contain nearly 20,000 plant varieties, representing more than 3,000 species, set among 7 km of paths. Among its collections are azalea, cornus, greenhouses of Victoria amazonica, and 300 types of dahlias. It also contains a small herbarium and the founder's mausoleum.

When out for a bike ride last week I was delighted to see that a local farmer had planted a wildflower mix in the set-aside adjacent to his wheat crop.
Actually it was double delight since the only poppies that I had seen up to this point were some mega-sized cultivated ones in the sand dunes at Alnmouth which don't count as wildflowers in my book!
Matilija Poppy has been called the "Queen of California Flowers". Unique and distinct, it is one of the most recognized and beloved of California’s native plants. The large white blooms are the size of a saucer. The petals look like wrinkled crepe paper, the center is a bright yellow disk. Some have likened the flower to the appearance of a fried egg. A solitary bloom is a very fine thing, but a large stand of Matilija in full bloom is a sight to behold! Hundreds of huge white flowers borne at eye-level on long straight stems, contrasted by attractive blue-green foliage… a real show stopper in late spring/early summer!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by to view, fave, and comment!!

The poppy is also beautiful in bw. I do not know why, but I could not resist showing this poppy in monochrome. Do you feel that way sometimes too?
Happy Thursday everyone!
Thanks for viewing ;-)
A lonesome poppy in a field of barley. No fields full of them near us, just the odd group here and there, and plenty of loners like this one.
A photograph I took yesterday trying to see if I could keep the detail in the red of the petals...and failed.
I tried, while not using Bev's tripod, to control the bright sunlight with a flower. It's always a surprise and a real thrill to find one of your images in Explore - thank you for your visits, favourites and comments, all are most appreciated!
I'm not one to photograph flowers much but while driving down a country road I had to stop and photograph this field of poppies.
