Poppy is a beautiful scarlet flower that is very popular with gardeners, although some of them consider the poppy flower to be narcotic. The hypnotic plant variety contains edible seeds. Morphine and opium are produced from them, therefore its cultivation in our country is prohibited. But there are some varieties that have decorative properties. They are often planted in flower beds and flower beds. From one seed box, about 20 flowers can grow. If the sowing is made thick, then the flower bed will turn into a beautiful scarlet carpet.
Poppies or maquis are an annual or perennial plant that belongs to the Poppy family. In total, there are about 100 plant species, of which 75 grow in our country. Translated from Latin, poppy means «milk». The plant got this name due to the white substance, similar to milk, which is released when the flower is cut.
It is believed that the color of the poppy helps to evoke love. If a girl collects poppy seeds during the growing moon and carries them with her, then she will meet her betrothed. In ancient times, sorceresses used red poppy as an additional ingredient in their potion. Some people protected their home from evil spirits by scattering poppy seeds on the floor.
