Papaver somniferum
Tenerife.
Costa del Silencio.
These were growing on the roadside, a very pale pink.
It's an endemic subspecies of the classic opium poppy.
Opium poppy, Papaver somniferum, is the species of plant from which opium and poppy seeds are extracted. Opium is the source of many opiates, including morphine, thebaine, codeine, papaverine, and noscapine. The Latin botanical name means, loosely, the "sleep-bringing poppy", referring to the sedative properties of some of these opiates.
