[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A poppy is any of a number of colorful flowers, typically with one per stem, belonging to the poppy family. They include a number of attractive wildflower species with colorful flowers found growing singularly or in large groups; many species are also grown in gardens. Those that are grown in gardens include large plants used in a mixed herbaceous border and small plants that are grown in rock or alpine gardens.


Poppies on Lake Geneva in Montreux.
Yellow or California poppy, in New Delhi.
The Field or Corn poppy Papaver rhoeas.The flower color of poppy species include: white, pink, yellow, orange, red, and blue; some have dark center markings. The species that have been cultivated for many years also include many other colors ranging from dark solid colors to soft pastel shades. The center of the flower has a whorl of stamens surrounded by a cup- or bowl-shaped collection of four to six petals. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away.

The pollen of the oriental poppy, Papaver orientale, is dark blue. The pollen of the field poppy or corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is dark blue to grey. Bees will use poppies as a pollen source.

The opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is grown for opium, opiates, or poppy seed for use in cooking and baking, for example poppy seed rolls, in addition growing for the decorative flowers.

Hi Siegfried
Great shot of these rednesses!
Currently, most of the Alborz Mountains are covered with these wild beauties. Nice capture

Hallo Siggi,
Fine view of this beautiful red carpet, nicely soft exposition of poppies. However, I can't agree with the titles down there, I think they do not really fit there. But the photo itself is good, TFS!
Greetings,
Kristof
