I hadn’t remembered taking this mauve poppy last year and found it when I was searching for a photo to post. I still prefer red poppies but the mauve has a delicate beauty all its own.

Nice captures, Belinda! I don’t think I’ve seen the mauve variety, very pretty. Your second image is lovely, with an artsy dreamy quality. I like the hint of daisy in the background.

Splendid to see both colors, and the many parts of the flower as well, Belinda. Both these photos are so very pleasing.

Very pretty, Belinda. I always think poppies look like they are made of paper.

We had some self-sown (where from?) mauve poppies in our garden for about five years. They flowered prolifically and then this year the long drought crisped all the seedlings and I am guessing we have seen the last of them. I like the dark base of each petal.

I hope that is not the case, maybe they’ll surprise you 😏.
