Poppy -- Papaver rhoeas

I Peter 1:24 mentions the flowers of the grass. This most likely referred to poppies with blooms that only last for a day or two. Even the leaves disappear in the summer's heat.

Cultivation

This poppy needs a well-drained soil, with lots of sand. Sow the seeds as soon as the threat of frost has ended.
