Poppy, my favorite summer flower …. never seen a blue niether. I can image you have a bursting garden … with your deep passion for flowers. Beautiful entry, A-C. Enjoy the fantastic summer day we just woken up too. *smile
You too, Viveka!
Really lovely macros, Ann Christine. The blue Poppy is my favourite. 🙂
Mmm, the colour!
Love that blue poppy, Leya.
The colour is great, isn’t it!
Wow again for your photos! They re beautiful. I also can’t believe that the first poppy is blue. Shows how humans can change nature!
This poppy grows up in the Himalayas – and the colour is really its own. It’s the national flower of Bhutan. In the early 20th C a Himalayan expedition, led by legendary mountaineer George Leigh Mallory, discovered the plant on their try for the top of Mount Everest. The flowers won great admiration and fame when introduced to the outside world. They are very difficult to grow, so I have never tried even if I would so much have liked to…I know my limits there. Bill Terry published his ”gardening memoir”, Blue Heaven, http://meconopsis.ca/ about this magical plant.
This very special if you have seen it then. Thanks for information. Unbelievable to see such beauty and for real
🙂
Lovely flowers but the poppies are spectacular.
Ilove the blue one especially.
❤️Herlige bilder❤️
Tack så mycket!
Does one assume that the first frame, that incredible blue poppy, has been pot-produced ? – for I have never laid eyes on a blue poppy, not in all my years !
Well, in Sweden we call it ”Blue mountain poppy”, because its origin is the Himalayas. Very difficult to grow here, but some succeed. I have never tried. Its colour is heavenly – and original.
!!!!!!!!!!
I also have never seen a blue poppy! Gorgeous series for the challenge…
It’s for real, this colour. The poppy is only ”poppy like” its latin name says. It was found in the Himalayas about 1920 something.
That blue poppy is beautiful!
And the colour is not man made – its real, original.
Really amazing! 💙
Gorgeous captures!
Thank you, Jackie!
I’m totally in awe of the blue poppy. Superb. Looks like you allium is a slightly different kind than I am used to. These are all marvelous photos.
Thank you, Cee! This blue colour is real too. The plant was found in the Himalayas in the early 20th C.
Wunderschöne Bilder lasse mal einen lieben Gruß hir.Gislinde
I’m glad you liked them – thank you!
lovely bursts of color! great selection
Thank you so much!
I have never seen a blue poppy! So pretty !
I love them! They say they are VERY difficult to grow in your own garden. I think the colour is heavenly! In this famous garden of Sofiero (the King’s garden in Helsingborg) there are many of them. I couldn’t leave…had to stare at them for half an hour.
I would do the very same!
