tu devrais inciser les capsules et recuperer le latex .........

@rem_la: Vous m'avez voulu dire devriez récupérer les graines, parce que le latex signifie le caoutchouc et ce doesn' ; t semblent raisonnable.

Beautiful color and composition, Marion ... I just love the organic shapes that poppies leave behind after they bloom! This shot makes me think of royalty (the crowned pods) interspersed with four lovely maidens.

WONDERFUL shot, Marion - a few open and many to come, hopefully in the next week! xx

@Judy: This was last year's picture and they have all been cleared away by park management. Tomorrow's picture is of one that I planted last year and finally bloomed. I got it from the nursery.

Beautiful, Marion... I have some strange transplants in some of my gardens too... (Ever hear of velvet weed? -- I through in some seeds and some are growing there now.)

@Earnest: Thanks Earnest. No I had never heard of velvet weed but I goggled it and found out that it is very invasive and grows to 6 - 7 ft tall. Although the flowers on it are quite pretty. These wild poppies can grow around here anytime they want. I find them quite beautiful too.

Attention, Marion, they look like opium !! :)) but I think they are papaver orientale and not papaver somniferum
The composition is beautiful and I like these few popies in middle of all the fruits.
