My short words

"Oh! they want to get the sunshine!"

They were keeping the flowers pointed towards the sun.

The flower petals were brighter by the sunlight.



Memo

How to distinguish 'Iceland poppy' from another poppies?

  • Iceland poppies make each long stem (peduncle) per one flower from close to the ground. [5]
  • The leaves are jagged like teeth of a saw. [3]
