Can you zoom in so I can see the center?"

It is simply AMAZING to me how quickly these flowers put on their show. They have ONE DAY to make a statement, so at the crack of dawn, the pod pops open (right before I get there, of course! :D) and the flower immediately opens up and the pollen is exposed as the sun hits the flowers, basically saying to all the insects, "I'm open for business, come on over!!"</div> Heart of a Pink Poppy <p class="who"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/home/290645">Janet Brien</a> has posted:</p><p class="preview"><a href="https://www.ipernity.com/doc/290645/23472351"><img src="https://cdn.ipernity.com/132/23/51/23472351.e840caca.240.jpg?r2" width="240" height="240" alt=""/></a></p><div class="description">When I showed the full-sized image of this picture to Steve, he said, "OH WOW!!
