Poppies again, but they are just too beautiful (trop beaux!) when the morning sun shines through them, I couldn't resist taking the photo.

This is what Wikipedia says about them. "Symbolism

Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep ( le sommeil) and death (la mort): sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of their (commonly) blood-red color. In Greco-Roman myths, poppies were used as offerings to the dead.1 Poppies are used as emblems on tombstones to symbolize eternal sleep. A second meaning for the depiction and use of poppies in Greco-Roman myths is the symbolism of the bright scarlet colour as signifying the promise of resurrection after death.2 The poppy of wartime remembrance is Papaver rhoeas, the red flowered Corn poppy."
