The red poppy is one of the most popular wild flower seeds in all the world. Many people think that red poppy seed is the same seed that is used for making poppy seed rolls in baking although this is not true. Red poppy is also not the species used to manufacture opium and heroin. The Opium Poppy (P. somniferum) is a larger species and it is the one that produces the seeds for baking and also can be used for making illegal drugs. Red poppy is a small-size annual species which usually grows under two feet tall; however, its blooms can reach 2 to 3 inches which is quite large for this size of a wildflower. Red poppy is also often called \Shirley Poppy\", \"Flanders Poppy,\" \"American Legion Poppy\" (the red poppy is the symbol of the American Legion, handed out for Memorial Day), and in England, \"Corn Poppy.\" Red poppy wildflower is native to most of all Europe and North Africa."
