ANEMONES VERSUS POPPIES :-)

There is a difference between Anemones and Poppies. Have a close look!

 Those are anemones.

Those are poppies.

 Anemones.

Poppies.

Oh yes, the burning red color is almost the same!

  2. Huhu Yael,
    diese Bilder sind ein Genuß.
    Besonders da es heute morgen bei uns auf den Straßen ganz schön glatt war...gar nicht schön.
    Da sind deine Bilder ein echter Lichtblick.

    Liebe Grüße von Birgit und Barny

  8. Hello, again. I’m kind of a sucker for flowers. I can’t resist going out with my camera when I hear certain flowers blooming. I do love these passionate red anemones and poppies, so thanks for sharing. In my impression, petals of poppies look more translucent.

  11. Thank you so much Yael for this.
    You are the first Israeli I have come across who distinguishes
    between anemones and poppies!
    67 years ago, When I lived in Jerusalem,
    the anemones painted the hills
    round there at this season blood red.
    I suppose like most cities in the world
    concrete is now the dominant feature.
    When I lived on Mt Carmel a little earlier
    the hills there used to change colour during the course of spring.
    The sequence as I remember was

    red - anemone
    orange- ramunculus
    pink - a very fragile flower we called flax
    yellow - a tall daisy type

    Of course there were many other beautiful flowers
    but they didn't alter the view from a distance like those 4
