And the winner is . . .

These pretty poppies were growing
side by side at the botanic garden, looking
like so many contestants in a beauty pageant.

  1. I love poppies. And yours are pageant winners.

    I can imagine what they might look like in a bathing suit competition.

  2. How lucky am I ~ it's been way too long since I said Hello and I happened to score Tall Gary at the same time. Hello and hello!

    Those poppies are gorgeous, dear Alexa. x0

  10. You got some amazing photographs of those so fragile poppies. I took some snaps recently but they are so hard to capture. Especially given there was a slight whisper of a breeze moving those bending stems causing the whole flower to tremble.
