Yellow Horned-Poppy

The Yellow horned-poppy is a coastal plant that grows on shingle beaches, cliffs and sand dunes. The golden-yellow flowers appear in June and are followed by the 'horns' - curling seedpods that can be up to 30cm long. When it is broken, the plant exudes a yellow sap which is poisonous.


The above is an expert from the net. 


I was at St Gothian Nature Reserve this morning it is next to Godrevy. It was a sand and gravel pit, in the past and this is where the poppy was.


There is a quite a lot a water there, with a lot of Canadian Geese there at the moment. See Extra
