Non-traditional decorated Lebkuchen hearts. You can see these bread during German festivals.
this was taken somewhere near Parsberg while we were on our way to Velburg in Germany sometime in summer 2010.
A poppy is one of a group of a flowering plants belonging to the poppy family, many grown in gardens for their colorful flowers.
Poppy flowers have 4 to 6 petals. Petals may be almost any color, and some have markings. Prior to blooming, the petals are crumpled in the bud, and as blooming finishes, the petals often lie flat before falling away. A whorl of stamens is in the center of the flower.
I love these memes; Today’s Flowers, Macro Monday, Mellow yellow, and Ruby Tuesday. Thanks to the Authors of these sites for sharing these interesting memes in the blogosphere.

The state flower of California is the golden poppy which I see growing wild everywhere. I rarely see them of other colors. They are such cheerful flowers.
