The Himalayan blue-poppy (Meconopsis ‘Lingholm’)—one of Longwood’s most photographed flowers—has both fascinated and challenged avid photographers for years, as the flower’s coloration is one of the most elusive hues to capture in a photographic image.
Join us for this exclusive photography opportunity to capture blue-poppies and learn studio techniques to effectively highlight all aspects of this stunning plant.

Additional Information
Photos taken during photography classes at Longwood may not be sold for commercial uses.
Due to the unique qualities and requirements of this plant, the on-site photography session may be rescheduled to catch the blue-poppies at their peak bloom. As we monitor the blue- poppies, if the photography session needs to be rescheduled, class participants will be notified of the revised date in advance.
