Genus: Papaver
The common name for the plants in this genus is poppy and there are about 70 species of annuals, biennials and perennials found in a range of habitats.
Perhaps the most familiar poppy is Papaver rhoeas, the corn- , field- or flanders poppy which is often seen as a weed especially by arable farmers with crops through which this species happily spreads!
On the converse, the most sinister form is probably thought to be Papaver somniferum or Opium poppy. Although known as the source of opiates, it also produces poppy seeds used in Asian cookery and on many breads and snacks.

I like to grow flowers that have large seed pods. You still have something to look at after the flower has died, and they can be collected and dried too. These poppies are a delicate colour.

Aren't poppies the most beautiful flowers? Sadly I've not been able to grow them in my garden so I just enjoy the wild ones instead
