Yellow New Zealand Poppie


New Zealand Poppie
Oil on Canvas
11" X 14"
2006





I purchased this plant at a local store here in Scappoose, Oregon, not New Zealand. I couldn't resist the way the light and shadows played on the petals. The bee was also intrigued by it I guess. He got in to several of the photos I took that day. I planted it in my flowerbed and it had many blooms through out the summer but alas it did not come back the next year.
