Poppy
Poppies appear in Greek myth, when Demeter created the flower to bring her sleep so she could forget her grief after Hades abducted Persephone. The link between Demeter and the poppy continued into the harvest, and the ancient Greeks offered poppy seeds in their rites to Ceres to ensure a bountiful corn harvest.
So a little bit of Greek history in my garden!
