Poppy

The Common Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) are out in the fields. They may be classed as weeds, though the flashes of colour they bring to the fields are always welcome. Anyway, the idea of a weed is only a human contrivance, a term of abuse we use for a plant which defies our desire to control nature, one which refuses to accept 'its place' in 'our' world. Huzza for the weeds!
