Field Notes

Description:

Purple fluffy starfish poppy pod. Looks like an iced dessert :-)

Trying to confirm exact identity as I've seen so many variations. Possibly Patty's Plum Oriental Poppy. This one has 9 Stigmatic Rays.

Genus: papaver?

Hi Mark :-) Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the whole flower but have added another which shows a bit more of the petals.

Very pretty and nice description. Do you have an image of the entire plant?
