Orange poppy

May 20, 2014 by Mike Powell

There is something about orange poppies that really draws my attention. Maybe it’s their bright color or maybe it’s the unusual looking central column topped by a star. I remember being mesmerized by their beauty last year and I felt the same when they reappeared this year. Roses are nice, but this flower attracts me even more.

I love poppies too. Their petals always remind me of crepe paper.
