Pixie Cap Factory
Ever wonder where those little guys get their caps from? Here’s one just about ready to pop off and become a head-warmer! It is of course the state flower of California, Eschscholzia californica, or California Poppy.
What I loved about this image most was the diagonal line made by the petal ready to be unfurled under the cap. Also nice colour contrasts between the orange, red, white, green of the poppy and the blue of the background daisies.

So very nice! I like the composition. I enjoyed watching the progress of the poppies growth when I grew them in my yard.
