Chinese: 罌粟花 
English: poppy 
German: Mohn

This spring is much warmer than last year’s or before. 
The field that behind my university, it just beside the botanic garden, is full of poppies now. 





It is a private farmland, the owner plants diverse croppers in different seasons. 
In May the main crop is wheat. 
Poppies are similar to weeds; they grow randomly among the wheat. 
When a gentle breeze blows over the field, frilly poppies are wavering in the wind slightly. 
It looks like thousand small points are drifting in green waves. 
Pedestrians can small the light aroma from plants mix with earth.
