Artist's Description
Poppy is a group of flowering plants in the poppy family Papaveraceae. They are grown for their colorful flowers and some species can be used for food and as a source of opiate drugs. Poppies are sometimes used for symbolic reasons, such as in remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime.
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of sleep, peace, and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of the common blood-red color of the red poppy in particular. In Greek and Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead. Poppies used as emblems on tombstones symbolize eternal sleep. This symbolism was evoked in the children's novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, in which a magical poppy field threatened to make the protagonists sleep forever.
A second interpretation of poppies in Classical mythology is that the bright scarlet color signifies a promise of resurrection after death.
