The Poppy
Jardin des plantes
In the summer of 2006 are poppy fields a thing of the past? The poppy (Papaveraceae) was once a familiar sight in the countryside. Its red would be splashed through our cornfields in high summer, colouring the countryside. Over the last 50 years, economic pressures have forced farmers to use fertilizers and herbicides in increasing quantities. Unfortunately, this has led to a decline in poppies and other plants that grow in fields.

Jolie photographie! Eclos, mais pas encore, avec quelques touches de rosée... on sent le petit matin et sa symbolique!

When I was in my in-law's village not too far from Bar-le-Duc I found some poppies growing at the edge of a corn field. It wasn't a huge amount but enough to make a noticeable splash of red.
I remember the fields of poppies in the countryside. Now they seem like wildflowers there aren't so many. This is beautiful in the pod.
thank everyone! I see that you like poppies!
that good!
