Poppies of Many Colors

As promised in an earlier post, I now have many poppy photos -- poppies of many colors and with textures!

First, a quick overview of the setting...

Poppies in the foreground, Tidy Tips in the mid-ground, and Foothill Penstemon 'Margarita BOP' in the background.

Did you ever wonder about a flower called "Tidy Tips?" Maybe this will explain it all.

Anyway, back to California Poppies. Just as a reminder, this is approximately the usual color of California Poppies (but this one is somewhat crinkle-y and less satiny).

But this one is much more yellow and has scallop-y edges.

And then there are two-tone, extra-crinkle-y poppies.

But there are also smoother two-tone poppies that look more like a sunrise.

And here's a view of one of the strongly pink poppies.

It amazes me how very blue the green foliage can be.

Just one more crinkle-y orange poppy for good measure!

Who knows? More colors may be holding out on us yet! 

In the meanwhile, the Lupines, Sticky Monkeyflowers, Bluebells, and even the Goldfields are continuing to bloom. It's all very springy.
