Pearlescent petals: mother of pearl poppies

 Mother of Pearl poppies are growing among clouds of cilantro and understories of chamomile.

Most of them are white, but every once in a while, there's a red-pink one. My favorite ones are the gray ones though. The petals looks like oiled tissue paper.

I grew these indoor from seed, but probably they don't need to be so babied. Next year, I'll just sow straight to the soil. 

A gorgeous, fleeting flower.
