Oriental Poppy

Oriental Poppy: Confident Selfhood

Papaver orientale; Papaveraceae

Oriental Poppy gives us the confidence to boldly be ourselves without pompous arrogance. It supports a vibrant assurance in our uniqueness, not necessarily evident in early life but unmistakable in maturity. This well-rooted power is generated through years of fine-tuning our instincts and honing our talents. While our outer expression may seem inconsistent with this inner reality (a gentle woman’s firm handshake or a cowboy’s poetic sensibility) it is all part of our natural blossoming.
