This image was taken in my Newchurch garden, you could almost class these as wild-flowers.

Gorgeous shot of these poppies Chriss. Your shot shows the delicate structure of the flower and how the petals look like tissue paper. The colours are sooo very pretty, especially with the water droplets. :)
