Poppy Purple Frilly English

It's all about the 'Frills.' Degree of frills seems to be related to growing conditions as plants can form both super-frill and not-so-frill flowers. The unique frilliness provides a fairly open flower that bees and other beneficial insects love to visit.

*Bouganvillea have a much more adventurous and exotic historical journey. The flower itself was originally documented by Philibert Commerçon, a botanist accompanying French Navy admiral Louis Antoine de Bougainville during his journey around the world. However, it’s possible the first European to observe these plants was Jeanne Baret, Commerçon's lover and assistant, who was an expert in botany. Because she was not allowed on the ship as a woman, she disguised herself as a man in order to make the journey, and thus became the first woman to circumnavigate the globe.
