Found Art Friday 285

Dear ones,
Today's (Found Art) is merely a locavore recognition tour of the various poppy plants in the yard, requiring just a few steps out the door while holding a shiny rectangle that now thinks it thinks for us while we genuflect for colors, textures, refinements of light. 
Hard to reckon what this flower, in companionship with humans, has wrought upon the world, whole economies, lives, at once helpful and awful: Papaver Somniferum story

They fully extinguish themselves with the flowering effort, fall of their own weight
 petals don't just drop, but are thrown down with abandon all at once, a complete spontaneous disrobing
 The sort of natural mess we relish
And the tall exuberant Matilija Poppy, a large flowy crinkled home that smells devine
Last but not least, we just can't get enough of our California Poppies, that give and give and give.
California Poppy as medicine
Haven't yet tried the tincture, but these are certainly tincturey times we're trying to wade through
And from the series, repurposed artworks
from the Circus of Sickness
painful, watching it
try to rule the world 
by its hair meds
