Wow, white poppies. I thought they only came in red.

P.S. Where were these? They remind me of the fields of flowers in @pyrrhula 's neck of the woods.

Is that what they are, interesting! I wonder if they have to put a guard on them!

Lovely point of view and depth of field Hazel, I do prefer this colour version best:)

They are in UK, in Hampshire - white with a dark red splodge inside each petal, first time I've seen them.

Didn't see any guard dogs! We did try to get into the field for a macro but the gate was very secure.

A pretty capture :)

Do like the colour version best, with the contrast with the green.

Great shots of those beautiful fields. To get opium from them you have to carve each seedbal so they get bleeding. Ours are grow for the seeds and gladly no fencing than natural. ( A ditch or dike)

Lovely colour version of your Diptych. An unusual crop but possible we will be seeing more of it in the future if it is profitable.

Definitely in colour for flowers. There are opium poppy farms in Australia, but what a job they had getting permission to grow them.

I prefer the colour version, such a pretty field.
