Description
Spring 2020. Immediately outside my dining room casement window, a planter full of poppies. At this strange time in our collective lives, it is perhaps the little things around our homes that give us joy.
Poppy flowers come in a variety of colors and are prized for the beauty they bring to the landscape. In several states, various species of poppies are planted along the sides of highways for erosion control, for example, the red corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Although the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) has the highest concentration of narcotics, all poppies in the Papaver genus do contain some amount of narcotic.

A very busy moment -- one wonders how the central bee feels about the latest interloper. Terrific capture.
