4 more pictures in notes above and 1 text note! :)
Have I mentioned lately how much I love poppies? I LOVE POPPIES!!! :D They are beautiful in all stages and have unique and unusual forms as they progress from bud through seed stage.
I've been keeping an eye on the poppy seed pods as they've matured, swelled in size, and then dried up, signalling that they have seeds ready for harvesting!! We have plenty of deer who have risked our deer sprayer to eat anything that looks promising and they've chomped up a number of seed heads, but I'm very happy to report that at least half of the seed heads are unmolested! :D
However, before harvesting, I wanted to take pictures so that you can see how absolutely amazing they look!!! If you like fascinating shapes and awesome textures, you simply cannot go wrong with these incredible seed heads! I had a great time taking pictures and some of them include water droplets and sunbursts! Today's uploads include three other pictures and a close-up of the main seed head in this image. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I did taking them!
