Legend about poppy🏵

in #flowers7 years ago (edited)

Told that if you fall asleep in the poppy field, can not you wake up? It is said that poppy grows on the battlefields, in the fields where the blood of heroic warriors was shed.

People say that's why poppies have a color of blood.

The bitter memory of this flower.
Ancient Greeks believed poppy is an attribute not only to the son of a god (Hypnos) but also to the god of death (Thatanos).

 It is known that ancient Egyptians used poppy juice as sleeping pills, then they did not know about narcotic actions. It was also used as an anesthetic.

Thank you for watching!
