Time for me to educate myself on the flowers I’m capturing. Who can tell me what this one is called?
This is yet another section of the beautiful flower gardens in Vancouver’s Stanley Park.

/ May 24, 2012Taking a long time for them to load but from my screen, it appears to be a Peony
EK Photography & Art
/ May 24, 2012Thanks for the feedback. I did a little digging and it appears to be a type of poppy 🙂

/ May 24, 2012OK as soon as my Peony opens I will share mine look like yours when they are just about done 🙂 Our Poppies we grow are Orange but I bet they come in all sorts of colors thanks for letting me know Now I will be want some Pink Ones!
EK Photography & Art
/ May 24, 2012I love peonies so I’d love to see you share yours! I’ve always seen reddish poppies but apparently there are others like these pink ones and I think also the blue ones from my post called ‘Stanley Park Blues’.
nutsfortreasure
/ May 25, 2012OK I will check them out thanks!

/ May 24, 2012Amazing shots. Beautiful flower -I just love that vibrant color. Don’t know the name unfortunately.
EK Photography & Art
/ May 24, 2012Thank you! I think it’s a type of poppy.
Cathy
/ May 24, 2012Hi there. I think you’re nearly right with a poppy, but it’s a poppy anemone! See here: http://www.sarahraven.com/shop/anemone-coronaria-sylphide-1.html
I love trying to solve mysteries! 🙂
EK Photography & Art
/ May 29, 2012Thank you for that. You must be right. So glad to narrow it down 🙂
Ajay Ramdasi
/ May 24, 2012Really love your last shot! I have a similar habit of including the sky in my flower shots, I think it makes for a better image with the contrast against the blue sky.
EK Photography & Art
/ May 29, 2012Thanks! And I like the fact that it’s not so commonly seen so there’s added impact 🙂

Gunta
/ May 28, 2012I agree with Cathy. Definitely an anemone (it’s a bulb). They come in some of the most vivid colors imaginable.
