  1. These flowers are so red that they overload the sensor of most cameras :) I bet it looked more red in reality than the photo shows, right? Posted 11 years ago
    1. Yes, they are a very brilliant red that doesn't translate well in photos. I always think they look as though they "glow"! Posted 11 years ago
  2. I don't think this is Papaver rhoeas. It could be Papaver orientale or Papaver somniferum, but it's hard to tell without seeing the leafs. Posted 11 years ago
    1. Thanks.......not sure what to do here. I have no photos with the leaves showing. Should I remove this species and leave it unidentified? Posted 11 years ago
