white poppy

I think if a bee landed in here, it would probably go to sleep! Have been keeping an eye on these buds and this morning two have opened.

This is absolutely beautiful. Wonderful detail of the stamen. I have never seen a white poppy before.

@creativeamateur Paula, thanks - I'm not sure that I've seen a white poppy before either, certainly not as usual as the red.

[Linda Torrence]

What a great capture, down to all the details. The center of this flower is so pretty, the dark against the white.

@granny7 Thank you, Linda. I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw this lovely poppy in the garden this morning.

[Monica]

[Rosie Kind]

@creativeamateur @granny7 @monicac @rosiekind @tishpics @barbcapecod @gibnakebira @tobi Thank you all for your generous comments. I just did a google search and find that artificial white poppies are used as a symbol of peace. And this poppy could be Papaver Louvre or Royal Wedding

This is so pretty! I like the contrast

@gennygenny The 'colours' have 'run' a bit in the rain this morning.....

I saw this briefly a while ago and meant to fav it then. When i realized it wasn't in my favorites, I had to go hunt it up. It reminds me of the best of Georgia O'keeffe's paintings,

@herussell Hope, thank you and for the fav. I looked up Georgia O'Keeffe's painting on google and they are really lovely, so a special thank you for your comment!
