** Poppy bud and blooming ** seen before a garden door.
read about : Visitors to Monticello don't learn how Thomas Jefferson cultivated poppies, and his personal opium use may as well never have happened.
The following is an excerpt from Jim Hogshire's "Opium for the Masses: Harvesting Nature's Best Pain Medication" (Feral House, 2009).

The flower grows on a very long stem.
I liked the furry 'seed pods' or 'flower buds' and the one flower.

The buds and berries of the Star Magnolia, Magnolia stellata, add a colorful and interesting addition to the late fall garden. This slow-growing shrub or small deciduous tree, a native to Japan, grows 15-20’ tall with a spreading, rounded crown. It blooms in late April or early May here in New Hampshire.
The pubescent (hairy) buds open a deep pink color, becoming slightly fragrant 3–4 in (7–10 cm), star-shaped white flowers. The hue of the pink in the flowers changes from year to year, depending on the temperatures prior to and during flowering.
Magnolia stellata is synonymous with Magnolia kobus var. stellata.

Anigozanthos (Kangaroo Paw)
Anigozanthos is a small genus of Australian plants in the Bloodwort family Haemodoraceae. The 11 species and several subspecies are commonly known as kangaroo paw and catspaw depending on the shape of their flowers. A further species, previously identified as Anigozanthos fuliginosus and commonly known as the black kangaroo paw, has been transferred to its own monotypic genus and is now known as Macropidia fuliginosa.
The genus was first named by Jacques Labillardière in his work, Relation du Voyage à la Recherche de la Pérouse, issued in 1800. The French botanist collected and described the type species, Anigozanthus rufus, during the d'Entrecasteaux expedition's visit to Southwest Australia in 1792. In recent years a number of numerous hybrids and cultivars have been developed. Kangaroo paws are much in demand as house plants and as cut flowers.
These perennials are endemic to dry sandy, siliceous areas of southwest Australia, but they occur as well in a variety of other environments and soil types. They are grown commercially in Australia, the United States, Japan and Israel.
The plant grows from short, underground, horizontal rhizomes. The length and the character of these may vary between the species: some are fleshy, others are fragile. The sap in the root system allows the plants to survive extreme dry spells. In summer, a number of species die back to the rhizome, growing back in autumn.
The plants have a basal rosette of long green to greyish-green leaves. The leaves of some species are hairy. From the heart of this roset merge long leafless stalks, which can reach 2 m, ending in a raceme of flowers. The size and height of these stalks, which can be clothed in coloured hairs, varies between the species.
The tuberous flower buds are also covered with coloured hairs, giving it a velvety aspect. These long furry hairs also determine the colour of the flower, which may range from almost black to yellow, orange and red. Some species are even dichromatic (as Anigozanthos manglesii). The tubular form of the flower bud resembles a kangaroo paw, hence its name. The flower tip spreads fanlike into six petals. Full-grown plants can have up to ten flowers at the end of each stalk.

Salvia 'Salmia' show intense pink, elongated buds covered with fine hairs along upright stems. Learn more at Top Tropicals: toptropicals.com/catalog/uid/salvia_salmia.htm
I'm sure that compositionally this is all wrong, with too much clutter on the right, and distracting splodge of colour too. But I love the hairy bud! And I don't want to crop it too tight.
