The sky was dreary on Thursday, when I took these. The top photo is a bud unfolding; it'll be a beautiful Icelandic Poppy, like the bottom photo.

Jan, these are dreamy and fun! Love the poppies.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty shot...See you. mine is up...
ReplyDeleteJan, they both are incredible shots. I love the shininess of the petals in the top one, and the wonderful detail and delicacy of the second one.
ReplyDeleteI've not seen that particular poppy before that I can recall. Love seeing it 'before and after'.
ReplyDeleteWow! The bud looks rather scary, with the fly too, then you see that wonderful blossom! Wow!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan,
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot of the flower popping open. It's going to be beautiful. Have a great day!
