Description
Dreaming of a Summer Gone is a mixed media art and photography piece by Clare Bevan Photography
The poppy is part of a flowering plant family that is comprised of a few different species that make up the poppy flower. You will find that the poppy is a flower that generally has 4 to 6 petals. You will find that with the poppy, the petals can be almost any color that you can want, and they will also have some different markings that will mark them unique. The pollen of the poppy seed is interesting because it can be some very different colors, you will find that some of these poppy pollens are blue and others are yellow, gray, and different colors. There are even poppies that can be used to extract and make opium which is a hallucinogenic drug that is very popular throughout the world. Today, opium is a banned substance so it is very important to understand that this is a dangerous substance.
The flower symbolism associated with poppies is beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and eternal life. The Egyptians included poppies at funerals and in burial tombs. The Greeks used poppies in the shrines of Demeter, goddess of fertility, and Diana, goddess of the hunt. Poppies denote sleep, rest and repose. In modern times, poppies have been associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War I.
