Last Poppy standing



The poppies at Cambridge Botanic Gardens were just going over, but this one was still giving a good show. You can see that it has dropped its stamens as the seed head takes over. The petals would follow soon after.

Digital cameras can struggle with high colour saturation. In order to preserve any texture in the petals, I had to turn the red saturation down quite a long way in Lightroom.
