Did you know that there are flowers that look like poppies? The resemblance is uncanny!
Poppies are some of the most recognizable flowers in the world. They grow in many different colors, and can be found throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere. They also have a very specific growth pattern. Poppies grow in clusters, with individual flowers growing on a short stalk called a pedicel. In nature, poppies often grow near other plantsג€”and they almost always grow near other types of poppies to share nutrients and maintain pollination.
These characteristics make them perfect candidates for plant imitations! Here are 15 amazing plants that mimic poppies to bring out that resemblance even more.
