Poppy Flower Picture

Poppy Flower Picture... Me and The Others

These are deep orange and yellow Icelandic poppies.

They are pure joy to have in a vase in your home.

I bought them at a flower market in a bunch of ten buds.
They started popping open a day after I bought them.

These poppies are rarely available at our flower market.
I only see them every now and then and only
when they are in season. They last quite a few days in a vase.
I think it was almost a week.

Icelandic poppies bloom white and yellow in the wild.
Their botanical name is Papaver nudicaule.

Icelandic cultivars come in
white, cream, yellow, orange, salmon and pink colors.
