Poppies

108 flower a

My attempt to change part of my lawn into a flower meadow hasn’t been all that successful. No poppies to be seen.  So I enjoyed the display of poppies on the kerb of the road in a neighbouring town, and not just read ones.

I like experimenting in monochrome but I don’t like robbing flowers off their colours.  So for Cee’s challenge I made it so that I couldn’t see the original colours but chose a picture from a series of monochromes.  To check up after I had made my choice I looked at the coloured version and I just can’t not show it:

You can make me see orange

Flaming red poker

A Kniphofia flower

50 orange 2 (480x640)

and the real thing.

Orange is possibly my favourite colour.  I also really like red hot pokers, tritomas, poker plants, Fackellilien (torch lilies), Kniphofias or knofflers – whatever you want to call them.  How could you not like such a brilliant flower with such names!

Nancy over at A Photo A Week wanted to see some photos displaying orange.  More orange photos can be found here.
