Unfolding Story

Ah, the giant poppy. Which photographer can resist these lovely and arresting explosions of colour?

Normally the green pod splits at the top and the flower emerges top first. However this example managed to split the bottom of the pod so the crumpled top section remained dishevelled when the pod was removed. I took the opprtunity to grab this picture before the moment was lost.

How does it form itself like that inside the pod? Life is full of wonders, innit.





It doesn't take long for the flower to unfold itself to the world in general.
