a field of poppies

This field of poppies is near Beauworth and it's the first time I've seen such a sight here in Hampshire. Possibly grown for medicinal purposes.

The poppies are white with red markings on the petals. Overall this gives a sort of pale purple haze....

Lovely poppy field image. must be awesome to see it in person.

[Pyrrhula]

Wow . Three times a fav. You need to be in time to capture them at the best. A few day`s makes a lot of differents
Farmers often grow them for the seeds. They are use in (bread) bakkery. We call it : maanzaad.

Thank you. I'm glad you like my field of poppies. I don't get such shots often - difficult to find somewhere safe to stop the car!

They are Papavum somniferum, the opium poppy, and I must have seen the same field yesterday. Coming down from The Milburys towards Beauworth?
Here are some in my garden today http://365project.org/jqf/365/2016-07-20
