My camera is not fantastic but keeps me satisfied. I'm actually thinking of getting a new one. The one advantage of my current camera is the macro setting, hence, for flowers, its wonderful.

I agree with delphinium46. This is a great color for a poppie and I like that the picture shows the still wrinkled look of the petals from coming out of the pod. Thanks for sharing the picture. If I can ask where did you find the seeds for this variety of poppie?

I found this poppy at a local nursery. I bought it simply because I never tried one before. I really didn't even know what it would look like. As it happens, the poppy is short-lived..probably 2-3 years, but it gently self-seeds so I always seem to have 2-3 plants in the garden. I'm a member of two seed exchanges, the Ontario Rock Garden Society and the North American Rock Garden Society. They always offer this one.
