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.





And there is always next year for my garden.

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:

A Kniphofia flower

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.
