INAMORATO... POPPY
LOVE the papery texture!
Papaver nudicaule or Iceland Poppy, with large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, one foot, curved stems among feathery blue-green foliage 1-6 inches long.
They were first described by botanists in 1759.
Cultivars come in shades of yellow, red, orange, salmon, rose, pink, cream and white as well as bi-coloured varieties.
All parts of this plant are likely to be poisonous, containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids: ALWAYS wash you hands thoroughly after handling ANY flowers/plants!
Thanks for your time and comments, M, (*_*)
