Pom-Pom Pink, Double Poppy with Nodding Buds

A large, round, fluffy pink poppy with shredded, feathery petals stands on a tall green stem. Two closed green buds hang from curved stalks beside it, with serrated leaves at the base. The background is a soft green and brown blur with a painterly texture.

A single, very full pink poppy that reads like a pom-pom, with shredded, feathery petals in hot pink set against a soft green and brown blur. Most poppy pictures show a simple cup of petals. This one shows a dense, ruffled, almost fur-like head. The two bowed green buds beside it give the eye a quiet counterpoint. Someone wants it because the colour and texture are immediately attractive, and it brings one confident spot of pink to a wall.
