POPPY – A striking addition to a garden, the poppy is one of the most easily recognized flowers. From poppy seeds for cooking to opium for medicinal uses, it’s grown and utilized all over the world. Red poppies became a symbol of remembrance after World War I and the publication of the poem “In Flanders Fields”. A field of them also famously appeared in the Wizard of Oz, putting Dorothy and her friends into a deep slumber.
