PASSION RED… POPPY
Fresh out of the husk…
Poppy is the common name given to the plant genus known by the scientific name of Papaver.
The field poppy (Papaver rhoeas), like this here, has always been a symbol of death and rebirth, and no other flower combines exquisite delicacy of tissue with such a vibrant blaze of colour.
Everywhere the ground is disturbed - be it by First World War shells or the plough - poppies will grow. Each flower will produce around 17,000 seeds, of which around 3,000 will remain viable and dormant in untilled ground for at least a century before bursting into flower when the ground is disturbed and the seeds are exposed to light.Poppies are flowering plants with delicate, papery petals in a variety of shapes and vibrant hues.
There are more than 70 distinct species in the poppy (papaver) genus, including opium poppies (Papaver somniferum), corn poppies (Papaver rhoeas) and Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale).
Poppies are an excellent addition to mixed beds, borders and cut arrangements.
