"Bashful Poppy" ... the latest add to my shop (that I actually shot way back in 2012!) ... is a Turkenlouis Oriental Poppy from the garden at our old house in Maryland.

"Bashful Poppy" ...

A bright crimson Turkenlouis Oriental poppy flower stands out against a dark background, its ruffled petals and green leaves creating a striking contrast. The droop of the heavy petals, covering its detailed center, give it a sweet, bashful expression.

I've always loved poppies ... especially the way the light can filter through the almost translucent, crepe-paper-like petals. When we bought this little sweetie, somehow I didn't know this variety would be sooooo different (no idea how could I have been so wrong!). But it certainly had its own kind of beauty. For the first few years after we planted them, I never saw them. Turned out, they bloomed for us for only a short period of time and unless I happened to be in that part of the garden at just the right time, I missed them. Finally on a perfect day in May of 2012, set against the deep shade of the trees behind them, I found them blooming in the sun. I ran to the house, grabbed the camera, and had some fun!
