Description
This is what's left after the poppies have bloomed. While the seeds are forming and ripening, this is what the plants look like. Once the seeds are ripe, these bulbs start to thin and decompose, eventually releasing all those seeds, each one a potential flower for next year.
Ann's garden, early July, 2007.

Geez, I've seen my fair share of these in the garden and I have got to the point where I only let one or two stay to mature. When those pods open thousands of seeds hit the ground and most of them spout! This is a beautiful shot, Tara. You really got the texture of them beautifully.

This is great, like PJ, I have them around also, they are very trippy little things, for sure!!

Gorgeous shot, quite charming............ (small correction though. Each of those seed heads can produce up to 2-3 hundred or more next year.....if all seeded correctly and separately!) Ain't nature grand?

Wow, this is the first time I have ever seen it this way. I hope there will be lots more next season. Aloha

Woooow I was skipping through the thumbs here and thought I'll just take a closer look at these round street lamps with ornate crowns on top lol. But no, its a great close-up shot of the poppy's.

Poppy see pods have always fascinated me, like alien objects. The photography is excellent with such clear detail - hugs Jane xx
