This is what’s left over when yesterday’s poppy finishes getting beaten up by the wind. They look a little like faceless royalty to me.

Yup… I agree with the royalty concept.
Great description! I am struck by the uniformity of the pods in shape and color.
LOVE the Wizard of Oz-
“They now came upon more and more of the big scarlet poppies, and fewer and fewer of the other flowers; and soon they found themselves in the midst of a great meadow of poppies. Now it is well known that when there are many of these flowers together their odor is so powerful that anyone who breathes it falls asleep, and if the sleeper is not carried away from the scent of the flowers, he sleeps on and on forever. But Dorothy did not know this, nor could she get away from the bright red flowers that were everywhere about; so presently her eyes grew heavy and she felt she must sit down to rest and to sleep.”
Sleep, sleep, sleep…
They don’t look like themselves!
I would love to find someone who was deadheading their flowers so I could harvest some of these poppy pods.. love your image!
I think of Muppets!
Excellent shot, Kay! Aren’t these pods just amazing?!
