Thousands of Fine Hairs by janeandcharlie

Thousands of Fine Hairs

“The outermost part of the poppy flower is the sepals. In the early stages of development, the sepals resemble two individual, yet partially joined, orbs which gradually lengthen and split lengthwise as the developing flower prepares to bloom. The foliage, stem and sepals are covered with thousands of fine hairs that protect the bud and plant from insect attack.”

Thanks to you all for your comments about my photo of the hairs on the poppy bud. The information I found says that the hairs are to deter insects, and indeed, I think I can see insect wings in the right portion of the photo.
