Sandi - I'd guess, and it is only a guess, that this is a variety of a poppy. It is being rather bashful, so it is hard to tell for sure. What is clear is that you have a very nice posting. Thad
I don't think it is a carnation - the center is wrong but it could be a type of poppy as Thad said - whatever the color is most striking. Dianthus also have edges like that and are related to carnation.
It is a beautiful bright and happy flower Sandi. I picked it as a 'Pink" (Dianthus) at first but the foliage and bud are definitely poppy! I think it is Papaver orientale Turkenlouis :) It makes a lovely image and the dark vignetting makes it pop. Nice work.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
