 Papaver orientale, Pink Ruffles

This Papaver orientale is called "Pink Ruffles" for obvious reasons. Each of the four luscious petals starts under a dense fringe of pollen-bearing anthers, and bears the characteristic black markings of "Oriental" poppies. Maybe they should be called "Asian poppies" now that the stigma of the other word is so un-PC. This is just another reason to use that old standby: Latin!
