Eliza Waters 
Love the colors. The raspberry inner color almost looks like crewel work in your pic.
Thank you, Julie. Definitely a favorite that I look forward to every year. 🙂
Beautiful 🌸🌸🌸

Thank you, Rebecca.
Great shot
Merci, Sheree!
Wow. I’ve never seen a poppy with that colour before. It’s a nice change from the bright reds I normally see.
Thank you, Vicki. An old heirloom that self-sows annually, always a treat.
A lovely and unusual colour. Another of nature’s wonders. 😀
Thank you, Cathy. Definitely a flower I look forward to every year.
Beautiful colour 🙂
Thank you, Maria. I think you have this color, too, yes?
wow! I’ve never seen a poppy that color.
Thanks, Dawn. It is an heirloom that resows every year, a lovely gift!
Exquisite…..beautiful capture with the droplets.
Thank you, Alice. So grateful for the rain lately!
A bloom that causes a garden’s pulse to quicken even in a photo. Wow!
Thank you, Judy!

What a gorgeous poppy Eliza! 💜xxx
Thank you, Xenia. It’s an heirloom that blessedly returns every year. 🙂
Love those colors!
Thank you, Laurie!
So pretty!
Thank you, Dale. How’s your summer going?
My pleasure! And so far so great – just came home yesterday after weeks in Greece – and outside of one very hot and one one very VERY hot day, the rest were perfect. Now I have to try to convince myself to get back into working mode… ugh.
How wonderful! I bet it was great to get away from it all. How were the crowds?
It was fabulous and my brother-in-law organised the whole thing and we did not stay in places like Athens but in little villages in mountains on Monamvasia, Corfu and Naxos. Fabulous. And the heatwave is staring now that we are back home.
The best! 👏🏼 😎
Indeed!
Omg, so lovely! Is this a poppy of some sort?
Thank you, Bela. It is a poppy, commonly called bread-seed or lettuce-leaf.
Poppies don’t thrive in Hawaii, unfortunately. Though I did grow some beauties in New Mexico. It’s such an amazingly delicate and colorful flower. My sister grows black poppies, and she sent me some seeds while I lived there. Unfortunately, I never planted them.
Ooh, black sounds intriguing! I’m assuming it is a very dark purple…
You know that’s what it looked like to me. I did find some seeds online, but I don’t think I ever ordered them because we had decided to leave New Mexico. So you might be able to get them. Not sure what the resource was though sorry. But Ebay would probably get you there.
Splendid! 💜
Thank you!
With those droplets, it looks as fresh and cool as a grape popsicle on our currently 100F/114F afternoon!
Oh, Lordy, that is too hot! Glad to send some refreshment your way. 🧊
Lovely, Eliza!
Thank you, Belinda!
I also love blossoms with dew- or water droplets. Bejeweled jewels!
Thank you, Tanja!
… with dewdrops/raindrops. 😀
💜💙
Excellent image (drops add some sparkle), and what a beautiful flower.
Thank you, Tom. It is the highlight of my July garden.
A gorgeous capture of an incredible poppy. Love those colors. 👏
Thank you, Pepper! 💜
What a beautiful poppy! I have a few poppies in my garden too. I think I might actually like the seed heads that come after the bloom even more than the flowers themselves. 😊
Thanks, Ilze. The seed heads are very attractive and dry well, too.
They sure are!
Beautiful capture, Eliza! I love this color; my spring poppies are red, so this is a nice change!
Thanks, Tina. An annual favorite!
Love it!
Thanks, K!
What a lovely photo of such a beautiful poppy. I love all the details including the water droplets too.
Many thanks, Carol. Rain is life-giving. 🙂
Wow, what a stunner!
Thank you, Monika!
Beautiful!
Thank you, Kris. I love this color!
Did you know that mauve and mallow are two versions of the same word? Both trace back to the Latin word for mallow, malva.
Interesting!
Is this on a Rose of Sharon? I have the same color and the hummers love it.
No it is a bread seed poppy, the kind you can use on bagels, etc. 🙂
OK cool did not know there was a difference.
What an amazing colour! I’ve not seen a purple poppy before.
Thanks, Adele. It is definitely very special to me!
Gorgeous shot, water drops and all!
Thank you, Denise!
Two of my favorite colors, mauve and plum! Beautiful!
Thank you, Barbara!
