Today's Flower - Matilija Poppy
I thought I'd post the flower that's in my header. It's called a Matilija Poppy, is native to Northwestern America,and grows up to about 8 feet tall. The bush in my first photo was just slight taller than I am and I'm 5'4". It blooms between May and July.

That is a tall flower! And so wonderful in both shape and color! Your closups are beautiful!
I love white flowers. And the little pompom gives it such character. Love shades of white. The crinkliness of the petals is like a bridal material.
Love your header. The macro is so crisp and the petals are so white. Nice capture.
never seen it except here. Quite special
Exactly, that what I love about the Today's Flowers event:
See pictures of unusual plants and flowers.
Your poppy pictures are wonderful,thank you for sharing!!
Hard to imagine a poppy that tall!! But I love your photos of it!
What a gorgeous poppy - fresh and crisp and clear-coloured. Delicious.
I love the whiteness and the golden yellow on the center, makes for a beautiful photo indeed.
Any poppy to me is absolutely incredible because they're hard to grow around here and are pretty rare in yards.
These are stunning. Wow. Your shots are remarkable!
Best,
Gina
Very well done. Beautiful flowers.
A very beautiful flower, is it a variant of Papaver somnifera?

hose poppies are so beautiful, the contrast of the petals and the inside part of the poppy is striking, nice shot!
