During a walk through a field sown with grasses for sileage I spotted this lonesome Poppy....not the native red species that you would expect to see but a hybrid usually grown in a garden. So who carried the seed to allow this specimen to germinate and grace this green landscape with its purple-mauve bloom.....just one of natures delightful mysteries.
I may be off-line for a while but will catch up with everyone in the not too distant future...FAB.

Now why can't they reseed in my garden.....they would be more than welcome.
ReplyDeleteA serene post......
Nice capture Frank.
ReplyDeleteCould be a field full of them this time next year lol
Yes, a lovely poppy image. We will miss you here while you are gone. I hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Lois
Could that be prettier? Lonesome and beautiful. Very nice shot.
ReplyDeleteNice photo of the lone poppy it has a story behind it that you will never know!! I have those in my garden and there must be---I cannot even guess how many seeds there are in those pods! I wonder where some of those seeds might have blown to???? Will miss you!!
ReplyDeleteLovely pic of the poppy Frank, Linda
ReplyDeleteIt graces the field with it's undeniable beauty, alone yet free.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd a beauty that lonely Poppy is too Frank. I always think them to be red, yet I knew there must be more colour variations~
ReplyDeleteA beautiful jewel in a otherwise barren field! Look forward to seeing you back soon Frank.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely find! Looks stunning on its own. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteOhhh; this is a Southern Poppy...at least I would call it like this: We have got them in Tuscany and you can see them; though always: alone...yes, they are tall, more resistent than the red delicate ones...but stand always alone..!
ReplyDeleteI love them too!
Have a great trip, Frank!
ciao ciao elvira
...beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFrank, there are always little surprises everywhere you look, esp. if you look! Wherever you've gone off to, hope it was for pleasure. See you when you return. ~karen
ReplyDeleteSuperb Frank... Just one comment maybe, I would have cropped it differently with the flower on one side ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just got back myself. See you then!
ReplyDeletePerhaps it is not lonesome. Perhaps it is enjoying its solitude! Enjoy your break.
ReplyDeleteHi Everyone. Many thanks for all your comments on the lonely Poppy. We have seen thousands of red ones during our time away plus, of course, a few birds so will be posting some images from this trip as soon as I've sorted the photos.
ReplyDeleteIt may take me a while to catch up with everyone, so please be patient! Cheers.....FAB.
