I agree they are very nice! But the flowers are sooo short lived! With the wind they are blown off even faster!

As far as I know this is what they make Opium out of.

Yes, I think you are right only the flowers are not appreciated - only the seed pod that comes afterwards! It's botanical name is Papaver Somniferum.
