This week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge calls for saturated images. For that, I give you poppies….
The poppies above are several different types, all in the poppy family, or Papaveraceae.
The blue ones are Meconopsis ‘Lingholm’ – the famous Himalayan Blue Poppy.
The bright red one at the top is an Oriental poppy – Papaver orientale, probably ‘Brilliant.’ Most of the others are also oriental poppies, but the little orange bud is a California poppy; Eschscholzia californica.

And here are a few phrases from online definitions of saturation:
The condition of being full to or beyond satisfaction; reaching a maximum capacity; the act or result of supplying so much of something that no more is wanted.
There are hundreds of Weekly Photo Challenge entries to be found here. Try not to get too saturated wading through them!
