Collodion du jour - 10

Prickly Poppy from "A collection of somewhat random specimens"
When I picked this plant, a bright orange liquid oozed from the wound  I had inflicted to it. It looked very foreboding and hinted at the dangerous nature of the plant. I couldn't resist though, such an interesting looking pod.
It turns out all parts of this Poppy variety are poisonous. It is common throughout the west as not even cattle eat it.
