POPPY, POPPY HEADS, GRASSES AND BLACK MEDIC

Poppy, poppy seed heads, grasses and black medic (the little yellow flower).
 The little yellow flower is the black medic. There are all sorts of things in this tiny patch. I should return and look even more carefully!

Hello Taken for Granted. Poppies are brilliant, aren't they. They stand out, wherever they are.

The poppy does provide a nice splash of bright. I wonder if the Medic is called that because it has medicinal properties, do you know?

Hello Susan. According to Wikipedia, Black Medick gets its name 'Medick' because it was thought to have originated in 'Media' in Iran and 'black' because it develops a black seed pod.
