poppy (2) low key.
Poppy or poppy is a genus of flowering plants. Poppy seeds often germinate in places where the soil has been disturbed, sometimes the whole area is then full of them. Several species occur wild in western Europe, known mainly for their red petals. The poppy is also known as columbine in some regions.
A well-known species is the sleeping globe, Papaver somniferum, from which poppy seeds and opium are extracted. Opium, morphine and heroin are extracted from the species Papaver somniferum. Opium is the dried white milk juice of this plant that contains a number of alkaloids of which codeine and morphine are especially important. Painkillers such as oxycodone are made from it. This species is also used as an ornamental plant.
The seeds of the poppy are often used in certain, mainly sweet dishes such as the traditional Polish Makowiec cake. The seed of the sleeping ball is used on sandwiches under the name poppy seed. The juice of the poppy was formerly used as a witch's herb and to colour Edam cheese with it
