On the territory of the Tuzlovsky Estuaries National Natural Park, a yellow poppy flower, a rare herbaceous plant from the poppy family, was discovered. Details of this discovery were reported by ecologist Ivan Rusev on Facebook.
Unique yellow poppy: beauty, conservation and environmental challenges
The plant grows on the coastal strip along the shores of the Black Sea and estuaries and attracts attention with its beauty and unusualness. The yellow poppy is found only in two areas of the bay-bars, where there is no impact of human activity. This species is strictly protected.
The ecologist pointed out that the plant's numbers are limited by its strict specialization and narrow range of environmental conditions, as well as low seed germination. In addition, the processes of strengthening the banks, the load from recreation and the collection of medicinal raw materials have a negative impact. To preserve this flower and its reproduction, the ecologist considers it advisable to create new protected areas in the coastal zones of the seas, including the unique bay-bars of the Sasyk and Dzhantsheyskaya estuaries.

Yellow poppy: the beauty and value of a plant from the Red Book of Ukraine
Yellow poppy, or black poppy, is a perennial plant from the poppy family. The species is included in the Red Book of Ukraine in the “Vulnerable” category, which indicates its threat of extinction. This plant has many uses: it is used in medicine, in decoration and even in the production of fat and oil crops.
The root of the yellow maca is taproot, strongly twisted, and can reach a length of up to 40 cm. The entire plant part of the maca contains a characteristic yellowish milky sap. The plant is a herbaceous crop, growing to a height of 20 to 50 cm, sometimes even up to 100 cm.
The use of yellow maca in medicine is widespread in both official and folk practice. Its roots, leaves and fruits are used in various folk recipes to treat various diseases, due to the content of valuable biologically active substances in them.
In addition, the yellow poppy attracts attention with its beauty and decorative qualities. Its bright flowers create a real range of colors, especially in contrast with the sky background of the Ukrainian Black Sea region, making this place even more attractive and unique.
