poppies



from spikey alien-like pods burst



glimpses of pinkness



a mass of petals



each one more tissue paper pink than the last

    I always find it amazing that something so beautiful can burst from something so ugly!

    Oh they are my favourite colour poppy. My dad has bright red ones in his garden, just opened, but oh how I love the pink. Beautiful photos x

    I LOVE poppies, I planted loads last year, and not a single one grew. But I do have plant killing fingers, so it's not surprising!!!

    Lovely pics. I didn't get any poppies in my garden this year. Too wet maybe?

    It must have took you a while to get these pics- but worth the wait. I love poppies and these are a gorgeous colour

    Thanks for visiting my blog, I am glad I bought back nice memories for you.
    It's a shame that you live so far away, I would invite you for a "cupcake" chocolate and tea!
    Have a lovely weekend.

    I just discovered your blog through Dragonfly, and these photos are so beautiful! I was just admiring the poppies on one of the other allotment plots yesterday. I definitely think we need to grow some on our plot now! K x

    What papery petals...and a gorgeous shade of pink. I have a few poppies out in the garden now...most of them are an orangey red.
