ICELANDIC BLUE POPPY
The Icelandic Blue Poppy symbolizes imagination, luxury, and success. The delicate petals are wrinkled and crepe-like due to being tightly packed into the bud. It is said that the hairs (which seem to be everywhere on this plant) have an unusual taste which protects it from predators. And the seeds found in the pod of the poppy are used in cooking and bird seed.
