I haven’t posted anything for longer than I meant. I have a good excuse though. It involves Poppy.
Poppy is usually considered part of a plant Group. This Group Contains Eschscholzia one of my favorite local plants.

Overall the medical and economic importance of this plant is war inspiring for thousands of years. It can not be denied.
