Mystery Poppies

Thank you for all the comments on yesterday's blip and google has helped to solve the mystery as to why the lilac poppies are being commercially grown in Lincolnshire...it is for medicinal purposes, literally. The crops are being grown under licence and will be harvested later this year by a pharmaceutical company to produce pain-relieving drugs, such as codeine and morphine.

So to carry on the theme and because of a rather uneventful day working in my home office, my simple offering is this poppy head silhouette (just the red variety I am afraid)
