The flower symbolism associated with poppies is beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and eternal life. The Egyptians included poppies at funerals and in burial tombs. The Greeks used poppies in the shrines of Demeter, goddess of fertility, and Diana, goddess of the hunt. Poppies denote sleep, rest and repose. In modern times, poppies have been associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War I.

Bright bold shot. However the richness of the color all bled together and took the detail out of the dainty textured petals of the poppy bloom.....

I agree with the above comment, also wish it was in bigger resolutions.
