Just a simple shot of a field that was overgrowing with poppies and a few patches of white daisies to give that little touch of contrast.
Today during a biking tour I suddenly saw this field full of poppies. That was a stroke of good luck as I never saw anything alike near Hannover. In Poland I had seen such red fields before!

TROIS BELLES…
Iceland Poppies,I love them, these are from my garden. The petals are quite sheer, and very tender, indeed like butterfly wings. Their colours so vibrant, raindrops clinging on, yes, they were thrashed about by strong winds, a little damaged.
The colourful poppy, with tissue-paper petals on thin hairy, wiry stems
Cultivars come in shades of yellow, orange, salmon, rose, pink, cream and white as well as bi-coloured varieties.
Papaver nudicaule, the Iceland poppy also called Arctic poppy, is a boreal flowering plant.
Native to sub-polar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia, (but not in Iceland)…
Thanx for your visits and comments, M, (*_*)

This poppy is huge. I had taken a few roots of this poppy from my mother's garden, which was my grandmother's place when she was alive. My mamgu (grandmother) loved these poppies, maybe because of their bright vibrant red colour but also because with failing sight she could still see the big dollops of colour.
They were taking too much of the garden over, so earlier this year when we went to help turn the garden in preparation for her summer vegetables I took some roots home with me. I've tried previously to take some roots and failed as they tend to sulk and die.
This year that though despite having toiled all day in one garden we came how and out I went straight to plant the poppies. Gallons of water were used over the next few weeks to try to encourage these dear poppies to survive. 3 if not four of the roots did eventually curl up and die, but this one plant did. It has sulked all summer looking as if it will not make it, but the other day I noticed this! Happy days.
I mentioned earlier that they were bright red in colour, this however at time of taking the photo appears to me to have a salmon pink appearance, will have to wait and see what colour it finally turns out to be.
