Description
A great capture of a Poppy flower about to bust into full bloom. I was able to capture this bud as it is coming to life by using a shallow depth of field that blurred out other blooms of the same color. I feel this really makes the bud pop and stand out to the viewers. Some call oriental poppies (Papaver oriental) the sexiest flower in the world, and, while such judgments must yield to individual preference, it is true that their silky petals in rich, vibrant shades have an undeniable and immediate appeal. These poppies are perennials, forming a clump of hairy foliage that dies back every year after the painfully short bloom period in late spring and early summer. The plant only flowers about four weeks but the exact flowering season varies among cultivars. Species of these poppies thrive in USDA zones 2 through 9.
