A very beautiful 'poppy' anemone found in Ephesus amongst ancient ruins

This anemone looks so much like a double poppy! But what a brave little flower............ I wonder if St.Paul noticed these growing when he was here?

the flower's inside is a little blurry, but I think this is a Poppy, and not the Poppy anemone. Poppy Anemone's stem is not so hairy, and it looks like this flower has black spots on the red petals - which occurs only on poppies, not on anemones. Posted 4 years ago
