Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is a fabulous plant
Iceland poppies (Papaver nudicaule) are also grown as annuals and sport
fragrant.
Oriental poppies (Papaver orientale) are grown as perennials and very much
resemble the other poppies as far as foliage and flower types.
The California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a native orange, gold,
or yellow wildflower in California and the southwest that blankets hillsides
with color from spring until the first frost.
Mexican Poppy or Mexican Prickly Poppy (Argemone Mexicana) has big white
or yellow flowers with thistle-like seeds.
We have all heard of the opium poppy (papaver somniferum), which has been
used medicinally for centuries, and which incidentally is illegal to grow
in most areas
Poppies are a time-tested gardening favorite. For showy bloom, that can
be seen from a long way off, easy care, interesting-looking flower buds,
and geometric-design seed pods for flower arrangements, there's really no
substitute for them in the home landscape.
There are many flowers which have become so much a part of life by being
used for so many occasions that it is difficult to remember the specific
emotion they represent. They’ll play a starring role on the day, featuring
in your bouquet and at the ceremony and reception.
