Are corncocles the "tares" of the Bible?

Not as far as I can tell: I've found two web sites that say "tares" are a kind of vetch and three web sites that say "tares" are darnel. I've seen no other candidates offered. And since corn cockle is a red flower, it would seem to be easily separated from wheat, unlike darnel which apparently resembles wheat. Philippachaucer (talk) 16:11, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
