Family Papaveraceae

The classic variety, still popular with gardeners, produces numerous small, heart-shaped, hanging, pink and white flowers on fleshy, arching stems towards the end of spring. The plant may die back after flowering due to extreme heat, but it comes back to life the following spring.
