Variations on a poppy

The Asiatic poppies in our yard are blooming again. I’d noticed that there were a few colors besides the standard red but was amazed by the colors at the center of this white one.

Pink is a more common variant and most lighter poppies have these yellow centers.

The classic red poppies have slightly darker centers. This is another variant.

As always, the wind came up as I photographed. Most of our poppies are bright red like these.

  1. I love poppies and these are gorgeous. I’ve never seen a variegated one like the one in your second to last photo.

  2. The red ones are hard to beat! Beautiful!
    It is 32˚C here today so it is plenty warm for the tomatoes. I think they are adjusting to being transplanted.
