Common Poppy / Papaver rhoeas
Common Poppy is one of the most familiar British annual wildflowers, with its striking red saucer shaped flowers. They have a lot of symbolic value in British culture, as a sign of remembrance. Traditionally they are found in cornfields, but now becoming rarer due to increased intensive agriculture. They can often be found in disturbed ground and enjoy sunny open fields.
