Wide open poppies and round seed pods rise on thin stems above a tangle of feathery leaves. The papery petals are large and slightly crumpled, which invites shading with two reds. The thin stems need a careful hand, so it suits older children and adults. Lovely in red for a summer field, or in orange and white. A detailed poppy flower drawing. Purple stems next in Lavender.
