Blue Poppy Center © 2013 Patty Hankins
I’ve recently added a new photo – Blue Poppy Center – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.
Who knew there were blue poppies? Until I started photographing flowers, I certainly had never heard of them!
It turns out that Blue Poppies are native to Nepal and Bhutan. They need to grow in colder climates – so I’ve heard reports that they can be grown outdoors in Scotland, Maine and Alaska! Fortunately, for the rest of us, a few botanical gardens regularly put them on display in the winter.
I photographed this close up of the center of a Blue Poppy at Longwood Gardens last year. This is the time of year to head to Longwood Gardens if you want to see the Blue Poppies as they are usually on display in March.
This photograph is available as a 12 X 15″ or 20 X 26″ gallery-wrapped canvas. You can order Blue Poppy Center from my website.
