The Corn Poppy (scientific name: *Papaver rhoeas*) is a flowering plant native to Europe and parts of Asia. It is known for its bright red petals and black center, often blooming in fields and along roadsides. The plant typically grows to a height of 30 to 90 centimeters and prefers well-drained soil. Corn Poppies are often associated with World War I due to their prevalence in battlefields, symbolizing remembrance and sacrifice. They are also used in gardens for ornamental purposes and can attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The seeds of the Corn Poppy are edible and are sometimes used in baking.
