Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.

The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

A. A. Reznicek flower

All Images Enlarge Image

A Eurasian species commonly grown in a range of colors and rarely found as a garden weed or on roadsides, dumps, or fields; first collected in 1912 in St. Clair and Wayne Cos.

This plant is the source of poppy seed used in baking and for making a drying oil. The hardened sap of the unripe fruit, on the other hand, is the source of opium and its derivative drugs. The flowers of ornamental plants are often double. Some plants have stiff hairs on the peduncles.
