"The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed, And the crack in the teacup opens A lane to the land of the dead."

Prickly Poppy

The white prickly poppy is a beautiful flower. Its petals look like delicate paper. At dawn and dusk they seem to glow with an inner light.
They are unexpectedly appealing, growing wild in the scrubby landscape.
 But beware, they are well named. If you try to pick one, you will be thoroughly punished.You'd be better off trying to pick one of these.
