The petals on this poppy look like delicate tissue paper. It is a very small bloom.

Terra,
Yep it is a soft apricot shade...the first couple of blooms start out about the size of a 10p and then go to the size of a 5p before finishing...

Mrs. c: do you realise how BRITISH you are now?
Aren't you supposed to compare the petal sizes to cents and dimes?
LOL

I love the colour of this poppy.
Sort of apricot-shades would you say?
And you are right, Mrs. c.
The petals look very like tissue paper, and you've captured that effect on camera very well indeed.
