Description


One of the many, many varieties of poppies found at Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg, TX this time of the year. This one was a lovely salmon-pink color and just begging to be photographed...the poor little bloom in the b/g kind of got lost by the dazzle of the bloom in the front - hence, the title.
