WTF (what's this flower)?

[T42]

Sorry for the lousy pic, it was taken from the bike when we were in a relative hurry on our 600k:



As we crossed the Beauce (crop-growing region south of Paris) there was field upon field of the stuff.  It looks like a variety of poppy but the only reason for growing poppies I could think of would attract a little attention from the flics. Anyway, they're a bit too white for that.

Any ideas?

Hard to tell the scale from the photo.  Could it be some sort of giant clover relation?

It's poppies for morphine. Its grown in UK as well.

Crikey.  I suspected but I wish I'd been sure; I could have used some morphine on that ride.

Ta!
