There have been alot of poppies on the medow this year and the light up so beautiful among the grass with its red petals.

Kornvalmue /Papaver rhoeas / poppy is a wild poppy, which usually has bright red petals around a black center. Nature is the largest of three wild valmuearter in Denmark. In the northern hemisphere it generally flowers in June.

Its origin is not known with certainty. Americans think it comes from Europe - and northern Europeans think it comes from southern Europe. Others believe that it comes from Eurasia and North Africa.

Kornvalmuen is slightly toxic to grazing animals. The seeds are harmless
