Description
This piece has been featured in the FAA Groups: "Macro Photography" and "Beautiful Poppies".
This beautiful single crisp white poppy from the Angel's Choir Mix has a dusty rose purple centre that radiates from the base of the petals. Sometimes more of the colouring shows throughout the veins. It's filaments are the same dusty purple rose that darken with age and the fuzzy lines on the pale green seed pod radiate from the centre of the lime yellow top in a dusty rose pink, which begin as dark rose lines.
"Poppy Angels Choir" are glorious poppies of exquisite beauty. This wonderful mixture of double flowered poppies (Papaver rhoeas, Papaver commutatum, Papaver somniferum, Eschscholtzia californica), with silky textured longlasting blooms that dance on graceful, carefree nodding stems, in a wide variety of soft colours from whites to apricot-pinks, lilac-blues, creams and oranges also bi-colours and some interesting picotee types, is the result of almost ten years work. Now the magic of breeders art has transformed the poppy to give you magical garden flowers that leave you spellbound and breathless with their irresistible charm. They are easy to grow in almost any site, looking magnificent in the border, fantastic in large containers and will come up year after year in the garden, if seedlings are left to grow. When entered in the Fleuroselect trials these poppies earned the Fleuroselect Quality Mark. Flowers summer. Height: 60-75cm (24-30in).
Papaver rhoeas (common names include corn poppy, corn rose, field poppy, Flanders poppy, red poppy, red weed, coquelicot, and, due to its odour, which is said to cause them, as headache and headwark) is a species of flowering plant in the poppy family, Papaveraceae. This poppy, a native of Europe, is notable as an agricultural weed (hence the "corn" and "field") and as a symbol of fallen soldiers.
P. rhoeas sometimes is so abundant in agricultural fields that it may be mistaken for a crop. The only species of Papaveraceae grown as a field crop on a large scale is Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy.
