Field Poppy, Göteborg, June 11th, 2002

Papaver rhoeas
Kornvallmo i juli



Eva Ekeblad, 2002

The annual razing of this bed of bulbs
conveniently by seated lawnmowing
had occurred while I was in Uppsala.
A simple practice
that in one mow
defines the once cultivated
self-seeding annuals as weeds:
unwanted by management.

Do you see the poppies in the snapshot?
I don't.
