Opium poppy seed head, so pretty in its own right #poppy #opiumpoppy #seedhead

Spectacular 🐝

Fabulous pic Angela @italydiva looks like it belongs in the sea 👌😘

Thanks, they really are lovely aren’t they Debra 😊 @debs69

Thank you Suzie...it definitely has a passing resemblance to a starfish! 😀 @jadojado29

They are beautiful aren't they 😍

They sure are Jane! 😊 @pelly

So many beautiful poppy heads following on from one another...and then there’s the fabulous seed heads #poppy #seedhead

Beautiful, something that's lacking in my garden. Need some poppies for sure

What's not to love 🌸🌸🌸

This was one of nature’s surprise presents. It’s brought me so much pleasure. I’m hoping I can harvest some seeds from it when the time is right. Would be happy to send you some seeds if I’m successful @solly1961

Gorgeous aren’t they Jane? It’s still got quite a few buds on it too. I hadn’t realised just how prolific they are @pelly

Beautiful 💗 mine are all finished 💗

I definitely need more of these in my garden. I’ve really been bowled over by this poppy. Have you managed to grow any from collecting seeds Marilyn? @lovemygarden65

My poppies are going mad this year too. It must be a good year for them 🌸

Just out of interest, have you grown any from seed Jane? @pelly

These kind of poppies are wonderful for their multiple blooms 💕💕

All of mine are from seed, I just chucked them all over 😱😂😂

That’s what I so love about them Chris...I hadn’t realised until this one popped up! 💕 @midnightgardener
