Poppies in my garden

Poppies in my garden - the most delicate and fragile flowers I have. Paper-thin leaf leaves with sparkling colors as if they were almost small colorful masterpieces of nature.

Hellevoetsluis - Garden

Poppies - grown as ornamental plants since 5000 BC in Mesopotamia. They were found in Egyptian tombs. In Greek mythology, the poppy was associated with Demeter, goddess of fertility and agriculture. The origin of the cultural symbol was probably Minoan Crete.
