I hope this blog post finds you well! This week's nugget of nature is the Poppy! We have beautiful red Poppies blooming in large quantities in the kitchen garden at the Backus-Page House Museum. Poppies are one of my favourites and seeing them at one of my favourite places each year fills my soul :)
Five fun facts about Poppies:
- Most Poppies are found in the Northern Hemisphere.
- The Poppy has a milky sap.
- Poppy seeds are used for both narcotic and nonnarcotic purposes.
- There are a particularly rich number of Poppy varieties in California.
- Oriental Poppies are the easiest to grow!
Have a great weekend everyone! Stay safe and take care!
