Orange Oriental Poppy to be exact. I took this photo in the rain, poppies are like crepe paper in the rain...they turn to mush.
But it looks like I'll have more chances to take photos of just a few more poppies that haven't "popped" yet. This is my poppy patch, it's a giant explosion of orange when they all bloom. I get so excited that sometimes I call a few friends over to have what I call "the poppy party". Okay, so it's not really a party, it's just coffee time with a few girlfriends. We sit outside...drink coffee, eat pastries and admire the poppies. Poppies and pastries? I call that a party.
It's raining as I write this, but in a couple of days the weather people say it's going to be sunny and 80 degrees. Prepare for Poppies!

The first image is great. But I LOVE that second one. A sea of poppies waiting to open. I love how they are all drooped over like that. It's such a visually pleasing image. Very nice work.
I agree - both photos are excellent - I love the raindrops on the first one!
Do hope you'll post more when the Poppies Pop!
Lovely photos. I especially love the first one.
Great P pictures. I hope you will share pictures of them all in bloom.
I would LOVE to come to your Poppy Party! I do HOPE you will share the whole BLOOMIN' field - when it does!
I love pretty poppies! Your farm if so full of pretty! :)
Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
I love this! That first flower is truly an eye popping poppy!
