Photograph of a flowering bud of the field (corn) poppy Papaver rhoeas,showing the exposure of the folded red petals by the upward movement of the protective,cap-like sepals. Here,the protective "bonnet" of sepals sits on top of the petals which have begun to unfold. The field poppy flourishes wild on railway banks,meadows & in poorly sprayed fields. They produce no nectar,but are prolific sources of pollen for bees,which are attracted by the bright colour of the petals. Fourth in a sequence of five photographs | |
