Description
I have four separate stands of poppies and every year, this stand produces the largest poppy I have every seen. This image is also available in rich dark brown tones as well as a soft muted image resembling a water color/drawing.
Papaver orientale (Oriental poppy) is a perennial flowering plant native to the Caucasus, northeastern Turkey, and northern Iran.
Oriental poppies throw up a mound of finely cut, hairy foliage in spring. After flowering the foliage dies away entirely, a property that allows their survival in the summer drought of Central Asia. Late-developing plants can be placed nearby to fill the developing gap. Fresh leaves appear with autumn rains.
