Today, I would like to introduce a flower called Long-headed poppy(Nagami hinageshi). The Japanese name is derived from the long fruit that follows the flower. Its scientific name is Papaver dubium.. The flowers look pretty at first glance, but they produce a lot of small seeds, which are highly fertile and contain ingredients that strongly inhibit the growth of surrounding plants. It is poisonous, so do not touch the stems or leaves with bare hands.
Once it multiplies, it is difficult to exterminate.

今日はナガミヒナゲシという花についてご紹介します。花の後につける実が長いのでこういう和名がついたそうです。学名は Papaver dubium. です。一見可愛らしい花をつけますが、細かい種をいっぱいつくるので繁殖力が強く、また周辺の植物の生育を強く阻害する成分を含んでいます。また有毒なので素手で茎や葉などを触ってはいけません。
いったん増えてしまうと駆除するのが難しい植物です。
