1. Title: "A Timeless Blossom: The Dried Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas L) from Poland's Fields, Preserved in the Herbarium" 2. Discover the captivating beauty of nature's ephemeral wonders in this striking image of a dried corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas L), a beloved flower from the Papaveraceae family. Collected in Poland during the year 1952, this specimen is now preserved in a herbarium, a testament to its enduring allure. 3. The corn poppy, also known as the common poppy or Flanders poppy, is a native of Europe, Asia, and North Africa. This monocotyledonous angiosperm, belonging to the order Ranunculales and the subclass Eudicotyledons, is renowned for its distinctive red, orange, or yellow flowers, which bloom in the spring and summer. 4. The corn poppy's name derives from its association with maize fields, where it often grows as a weed. Its seeds can be found among the kernels, and the plant's milky sap contains alkaloids, which can be toxic to livestock. 5. In the image, we see the intricacies of the corn poppy's pressed leaves and seed pods, revealing the delicate structures that make up this fascinating flowering plant. The poppy's taproot system, which can reach depths of up to 3 meters, is not visible in the herbarium specimen but is a crucial aspect of its growth and survival. 6. The corn poppy's vibrant flowers have held significance throughout history, from their use as symbols of remembrance in various cultures to their role as inspiration for artists and poets. Today, they continue to enchant us with their fleeting beauty, reminding us of the ever-changing cycle of nature. 7. This image is a valuable addition to any botanical collection, offering a glimpse into the rich biodiversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of preserving these natural wonders for future generations.
