Dark & Red

Poppies come in all shapes, sizes, and colours – but I think the dark red ones, such as this, are my favourite.

What did this image teach me?

In Ancient Greece the poppy was associated with the god of sleep, Hynpos and the god of dreams, Morpheus.

      Yes. I agree. They must’ve known about those properties all the way back then. Seems to much of a coincidence otherwise.
