Beautiful closeup, the detail in the centre outwards is exquisite..

@solly1961 thanks Mark..... the iPad is amazingly good considering the tiny lens!

These massive poppies getting ready to burst into bloom..... the most spectacular plant in the garden will keep blooming for several months!

Several months?? Yours are everlasting then David. None of mine last that long and I've got this one. Yours are ahead of mine though. No buds on mine yet 💕💕

#plantid This magnificent poppy emerged today.... does anyone know the name? It is about 4 inches. @icedance can you keep your record Sam???

He he ....well so many varieties Of these but Papaver orientale 'Aglaja' Seems to fit ? With its dash of deeper red at the throat ?

Pretty

Or maybe Princess Victoria Louise ?

@icedance my word...... I think she’s got it! Thanks very much Sam..... that’s 3 out of 3😇

Most welcome David ....She is a pretty princess now 👸

Indeed she is Sam👍🏽
