Description
I was searching for something to shoot that had a texture for this month's challenge, and found this strange looking flower the other day.
Does anyone know what kind of flower it is ? Someone suggested that it was a wrinkled old poppy.
But it didn't look very old to me at all !-it was still vibrant red and so full of color!
When I think of poppys I dont think red - I think of bright orange, as we have the California orange (state flower ) poppy that is scattered all over the place in the springtime . Big poppy festivals. The mountains are covered with bright orange haha- (I always thought the look of it was like God took his hand and wiped it on the mountainside after eating cheetos..)
Well if it an old poppy it fits my interest just perfectly cause, for some odd reason I am drawn to dead or dying plants. Something meaningful about them serving there purpose and saying goodbye to the world and leaving thier mark( does that sound wierd? )
I do not normally post many flowers but something about this one caught my eye . it looked kinda like paper mache!
Thanks for all your time and comments on my silly kitty pics playing tug o war!,...
love to you all
(((big hugs )))

Yes this so beautiful looking flower must be a poppy! Strange is the centre of this flower because a poppy has got normally a black one! Fantastic macro shot! I love it! Bravo!!!! V

Reminds me of my years living in the southest part of Sweden, where you could see whole fields of poppies, what a sight! They are beautiful in masses, but totally fascinating one by one, when you can follow how they unfold from that round little bud. Gorgeous shot,just like a butterfly getting out from the chrysalis stage.

Yep, a poppy. Love how up close you came to the subject matter. Thank you for sharing.

It actually looks like someone has come along and scrunched up each petal. How unusual I have no idea but it does look like a poppy. Great shot V Cathy xoxoxo
