This lovely lady sat near the entrance of the botanical garden, her bright flowers dancing in the breeze. I had no idea what essences I would make this particular trip— only that I would be making three. Corn Poppy was the first of the three. The lime green “eyes” at the base of the flower are gorgeous and drew my own eyes (as well as the bees) deep within the flower.
