Monomad challenge - Papaver somniferum flowers and seed capsules

This post is my entry for the #monomad challenge.

Title: Papaver somniferum flowers and seed capsules

Papaver somniferum (Opium poppy) is a plant grown for food, the pharmaceutical industry, and the production of opium and heroin.

There are several large fields of opium poppies near where I live, and they are also often grown in gardens, as people like to eat poppy seed pastries and cakes.

It is a beautiful flowering plant that I like to photograph. All photos are from different fields and stages of development, from the beginning to the end of flowering.
