| Bluestem Prickly Poppy, Argemone albiflora |
Bluestem Prickly Poppy, also known as White Prickly Poppy, is an
annual or biennial flower that has a deep taproot and preference for limestone based soils. It may bloom starting
mid-spring up until early fall. The prickly leaves, for which it gets it common namesake, results in this flower being a common find in fields as cattle will not eat it. While quail and other birds love the oily seeds, all parts of the plant do
contain toxins in the form of alkaloids.
