Poppy observation


I was pruning my dendromecon recently and noticed that the layer just beneath the bark is orange - I've seen the same orange color just beneath the bark of the tree poppy Bocconia frutescensm, and the same color as the taproot of the Ca poppie, eschscholzia.

Is this a common trait of all papavers?
