Such a beauty - hard to grow in Calgary, AB. Canada - and only last 3 days tops. You have to plan your holidays around for when it blooms :0)

This is my favourite of all poppies and I think you have captured this perfectly along with the colourful background too. Fav'd and thank you for sharing!

What a most beautiful Poppy! I've never seen one this colour.
I wish you'd take a close up of just the single flower if you can. I would just love to see it closer and then put it on my desktop. A very lovely photo for you to share with us. Verena

I was asked to give a comment re this picture. I am an amateur but will try my best!
The subject, a beautiful blue flower, apparently with some guests on the petal, is very attractive...and, if I may say so, "soothing". The picture is a bit crowded but it hasn't impacted the shot in a negative way. In fact, the flowers, the wall, the garden, and the chair in the background have added depth and character to the main subject. The colours are gorgeous. The focus is superb!
Overall, I think this is a wonderful shot! I'd give it three green lights! Well done!

Sincerely,
Rokh
