23rd June 2015 - The last petal

I planted lots of packets of poppy seeds and while I was away most of them opened and the petals dropped. Trust me to miss the big display!! This one had the last petal still attached and it dropped just as I took this shot.

Uploaded for my extras album

Aha, another mauve one - that makes two I've seen with the one I found over the fields. Nice detail.

@quietpurplehaze Mine all seem to be mauve and not the red I was expecting!!

[Judith Johnson]

Lovely close-up and it still makes for a lovely shot

[Sally Ings]

Fabulous capture! love the colour, personally I prefer it to the normal red.

[ShirleyB]

Great capture, love the shading in the one petal :)

[Ann Williams]

Perfect timing! I love the colours of the mauve and green.

[Poppo Livy]

Grow your own poppies hey? For display purposes only I presume. :-)

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Lovely even as they come to their end

[Rachel]

Such a shame that you missed them! Trust @terryliv to think of other poppy purposes!

@888rachel Terry @terryliv always manages to make me laugh!! Just what I needed today. I am taking Barb to the hospital in a few minutes for her biopsy.

So cool to have caught this momentous petal! I'm just now planting flowers here. Spraying up to brave the mozzies!
