PAS DE DEUX… POPPY

 

RED AND WHITE… Do opposites attract?

Well I find them definitely attractive!

 

Iceland Poppies.

Papaver nudicaule , the Iceland poppy, is a boreal flowering plant.

Native to sub-polar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia (but not in Iceland).

A boreal ecosystem is an ecosystem with a subarctic climate in the Northern Hemisphere.

 

Iceland poppies are hardy but short-lived perennials, often grown as biennials, that yield large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, curved stems.

They were first described by botanists in 1759. The wild species blooms in white or yellow.

All parts of this plant are likely to be poisonous, containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids.

 

Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)
