Originating from Eastern Europe and Asia Minor, the red poppy can now be found just about everywhere. Its delicate, brightly coloured flowers are a familiar sight along roadsides in the summer and evoke the fleeting beauty of the season. Known since earliest Antiquity for its sedative benefits, the red poppy is still used today for its calming and sleep-inducing properties.
