Hunnemannia Fumariifolia

Beschreibung

This lovely poppy from the highlands of Mexico is a perennial whose leaves resemble those of Eschscholzia, being finely divided into many grey-green linear lobes.The flowers are solitary yellow cups formed from four overlapping petals, 5-7 cm across, vaguely resembling the tulip.The long thin fruits are also reminiscent of Eschscholzia.In nature it is typically found at elevations of 1500-2000 meters in the Chihuahuan Desert and south into central Mexico, where it favours rocky habitats,
