Inside a Giant Poppy

We've had a solitary Giant Poppy growing in a pot in our garden and today it flowered, so of course I had to get a couple of photos. The amount of pollen inside it is amazing!

There is a slightly closer view in the PiP if you're interested.

I cannot say which one is better, I love both. Amazing detail and brilliant colours- all that pollen must be a feast for the bees:-)
