What was the title of Georgia O'Keeffe's 1927 painting of enlarged red and orange poppies?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1927 painting of enlarged red and orange poppies is titled Oriental Poppies. The work presents two huge flowers whose vivid petals fill most of the composition.

O'Keeffe became famous for enlarging flowers far beyond their natural scale. She explained that people often did not take time to notice flowers, so she painted them large enough to demand attention. Her flower paintings are frequently discussed as examples of modernist simplification and close observation.

Oriental Poppies belongs to the period when O'Keeffe was living in New York and developing her best-known floral subjects. Its intense color and cropped composition make the flowers appear almost abstract.

The title identifies the flowers as oriental poppies, a cultivated species known for large, brightly colored blooms. The painting is often mentioned alongside O'Keeffe’s other flower works, including Jimson Weed and Black Iris.
