A cup of ...?
Scientific name: Argemone mexicana
The Mexican prickly poppy is a prickly, hairless, branching herb with yellow juice and showy yellow flowers. It is an invasive weed from American continents. The yellow flowers occur at the end of the branches. The plant is toxic to animals and cattle. It has got many medicinal values. According to Ayurveda, it is diuretic. While searching plants for my research work, i was attracted by the beauty of this plant and collected this one for experiments on silkworm. This photograph was taken on 25th August, 2011 near my home in Mysore.
