Interessante Fakten

Bush Poppies are tough! They can live for many years, unlike annual poppies that bloom for just one season.

Even though it's called a poppy, its woody stems make it look more like a shrub or a small tree!

Look closely! The flowers actually follow the sun's path across the sky each day, a process called heliotropism.

Their bright yellow petals aren't just pretty; they reflect sunlight, keeping the flower cool in hot weather!
