    and you captured all three stages well. I have tried 5 times to post a comment, sure hope it's not duplicated.

    Great shot! Do all poppies do that? I noticed it with my smaller ones but not with the big Oriental ones. Nodding head down, then perking up, then bursting into bloom! It's so evocative. Thanks for sharing this observation!

    Hi Tatyana~~ Your photo beautifully depicts the stages of the venerable poppy flower. The simple things, when we take time to look, reveal the complexity and dare I say the miracle of life. I find it interesting how all plants have their own internal clock and know when to do what.

    Very nice.

    I love how the poppies do that. I have similar ones and I think they look so pretty in each stage.

    Thank you all and everyone! This plant sure has life after death, keeping hundreds of new beginnings in the seedpod. I love all three stages. Somehow, that stem which is lifting its green head reminds me of a little dinosaur or an alien.

    Beautiful photos. We're thinking about starting a photo gallery on our site themed on the stage of life concept. Let me know if you'd be interested in us showcasing your photo.

    You can reach me through my blog or site.

    Have a wonderful summer.

    Tatyana,
    You have the eye of an artist. I never would have looked at that scene and seen the “the three stages of life”.--Randy

    Tatyana .. PERFECT !
    I have the same idea of trying to capture a plant in three stages like that .. but none of them are cooperating at the moment ? LOL
    Your picture is dead on and gorgeous girl !

    I love those poppies...I have some, but it seems right when they are in their glory either extreme heat or wind and rain push them down too quickly. They are amazing, though, aren't they.
    Great photograph!

    Hello my gardening friends! I am so glad you like it! I didn't try to take a picture that would reflect all three stages of a plant's life. I just found it while looking at my June pictures. Randy, I am sure you would notice it, too! Joy, I hear what you are saying. We want something but nothing happens; but, when we stop thinking of it, it's right here! Stop trying and it will fall on your head like that famous apple fell on Newton's.

    Poppies are fun. Nice photo. Poppies are special for me because I have some planted around our mailbox and when the kids were small they were popping in the very last days of school as they waited for the bus. It was a fun time to watch them spring out of the buds with my children.
