Common poppy (Papaver rhoes) - a photo on Flickriver

            Common poppy is found on a wide range of soils but is most frequent on light, calcareous soils. It is pollinated by insects, particularly bumble bees. The seed, which is produced from July onwards, can remain viable in the soil for many years. Common poppy was introduced into Britain along with agricultural crops at least as far back as the Late Bronze Age. As an annual, poppy is reliant upon its seed for regeneration and this seed needs open ground to become established. In parts of its native range vegetation dies back in summer providing this open ground, but in our temperate and damp climate disturbance of the soil is required. These disturbed conditions are almost always found in artificial habitats such as ploughed arable land.
