Phivos Nicolaides said...: Popp is the name of my wife! Of course, her name it comes from the ancient Greek name Kalliopi!; 19 June 2009 04:41
Scintilla @ Bell'Avventura said...: I love these poppies. The opium poppy is illegal to grow in some countries but I let mine self-seed because I cannot bear to pull them out! The seed heads look great dried too.; 19 June 2009 07:42

casalba said...: They are stunning photos. I didn't know these were the opium poppies. If I grew these it would be for their beauty - don't want, and don't need to go on any Coleridge trip.; 23 June 2009 11:26
