Poppy, Huge - Romneya Coulteri Matilija, or White Bush Poppy

: Poppy, Huge - Romneya Coulteri Matilija, or White Bush Poppy; these are huge California Tree poppies - other names are Romneya Coulteri Matilija, and White Bush Poppy, and Dream of the Desert poppy. Saw them growing in a house that's for sale, so asked the owner if I could take some photos, he was working out front. We had bought a root of this type poppy years ago, after reading about the huge flowers, - but ours didn't grow, unfortunately. taken with telephoto lens, - told the owner I'd be back for more pics when I get my macro lens : ); Created by: Alandrapal.; Tools Used: 20d 100-400 pspX; Created on: 24 June 2006; Image Views: 129; Average Views per Day: 0.1; Image Number: 26014

thanks again Mary for the new urls. will try them all again, strange how the first ones wouldn't work for me. I tried them both twice yesterday.

Try these then. I had converted both to the tiny url's and they worked for me..even now.

Copy and paste each one into your browser. If they don't work go to amazon.com and search for Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM and Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM.

Mary, I couldn't get either of those urls to work.

Alandra from westcoast Canada on Jun 25, 2006 at 2:39 AM said:

thanks for the urls, Mary. I have been checking out various reviews on the Canon lenses for sometime, - that's what I meant, - each time I read something, someone brings up another point and it gets confusing, as to which is best : )

Why not check out Canon Macro...there are good reviews at amazon on both the 100 and 60. You can check both out at these url's.

thanks Mary. re the macro lens, - can't decide, that's the problem. The man at the camera shop where I got the telephoto lens, suggested the Sigma 105 macro. But I keep reading reviews on various lenses and get more confused : )

Beautiful...the petals are so different, like wrinkled paper. What macro lens are you going to get?
