Still Life with Poppy Seed Heads

Still Life with Poppy Seed Heads
A bit wet and very windy today, but thankfully the temperature is a bit lower.........about 24 degrees C today.

I found these poppy seed heads on some waste ground near where I live, so I picked some to photograph indoors. After the photo was taken I scattered the seeds in my garden.

Nouchetdu38, Xata, John FitzGerald, trester88 and 15 other people have particularly liked this photo

Ah you might get a garden full of poppies next year then but if like us, your birds will simply have a feast! Great adventurous shot here.

Love the vase (another thrift shop find?) and the beautifully arranged poppies.
Seeing the poppy seeds I feel tempted to go to the baker's and buy a slice of German style poppy seed cake, yummy;-)

Keith Burton club has replied to Xata club
Yes,poppy seeds are edible and are commonly used as a spice or decoration for various breads and other baked goods. That's about the extent of my expertise though :-)))

Glad you like this still life shot Isabel............thank you so much..!!

We central Europeans make cake fillings with them-either you grind and boil them in milk or you can buy them ready to use:-)
