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.
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.
WOW!! That's utterly gorgeous, Anne! I'm back and getting ready to leave for the States in just a few days... Big hugs and have a great summer... See you on the blog! Leese

That is so beautiful :-) completely different to the poppies I have seen recently.
ReplyDeletePopp is the name of my wife! Of course, her name it comes from the ancient Greek name Kalliopi!
