Pip’s Petals Are Waving

Bold Colors for a Meadow Poppy
Many poppies are bright red, so red petals with a dark center are a wonderful place to begin. But Pip can also wear orange, pink, yellow, or even your favorite made-up color. Shade one side of each petal darker to show its fluttery folds. Make the stem medium green and the leaves deep green. Add a blue sky, yellow sunshine, and a few small black-and-yellow bees buzzing near the flower.
Poppy Flower Facts
Poppies are flowers with thin, soft petals that can move easily in the wind. They often grow in fields, gardens, and meadows. Many kinds of poppies have dark centers that make their bright petals stand out. After a poppy flower blooms, it can make a round seed pod. The tiny seeds inside may grow into new poppy plants when they land in a good spot with soil, water, and sunshine.
