Pipacs

Pipacs (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual herbaceous species of flowering plant. It belongs to the poppy family. It forms a long-lived soil seed bank that can germinate when the soil is disturbed. It usually flowers in late spring.

It grows up to about 70 cm in height. The stems hold single flowers, which are large and showy with four petals that are vivid red, most commonly with a black spot at their base. Usually, the petals slightly overlap each other.

Fun fact: not all corn poppies have red petals. Selective breeding has resulted in cultivars in yellow, orange, pink, and white.

Búzavirág

Búzavirág (Centaurea cyanus), commonly known as cornflower, is an annual flowering plant, belonging to the Asteraceae family, which is native to Europe. In the past, it often grew as a weed in cornfields, and this is how it got its name.

It grows to 40–90 cm tall, and it has grey-green branched stems. The flowers commonly have an intense blue colour with a ring of a few large, spreading ray florets surrounding a central cluster of disc florets. It flowers all summer. It is now endangered in its native habitat by agricultural intensification, particularly over-use of herbicides, destroying its habitat. Nowadays, the plant is naturalised in many other parts of the world, such as North America or parts of Australia.

White Violet

White violet (Viola alba) is a species of violet in the family Violaceae. Though the best-known genus, Viola, is herbaceous, most species are shrubs or small trees. The simple leaves are alternate or opposite, often with leafy stipules or the stipules are reduced in size. Some species have palmate or deeply dissected leaves. Many species are acaulescent. Inflorescences have solitary flowers or are paniculate; some species have cleistogamous flowers produced after or before the production of typically petaled flowers.
