Poppy

These 'popped' up in my garden a couple of years ago, and, despite all my attempts at sowing seeds, have failed to reappear. My garden is like that. Stuff only lasts one year. I think the soil gets too cold and wet in the winter and it all rots away, or gets eaten.

Glad I spent a day catching them in their flowery redness.


Experimented with the background on this one.

And, come to think of it, have no idea where the original is !!!

  4. Steve - actually really miffed I never got these to grow again. They are/were amazing.

    Kingcoyote - thanks, they took a lot of looking at. Not sure about the background now though.

    Sagittarian - Red will always do it. Red red red. Have you seen the film 'Kinky Boots' ? A guilty pleasure of mine. That scene where he says " RRRRREEEEEEEDDDDDDD" !
