  2. Popp is the name of my wife! Of course, her name it comes from the ancient Greek name Kalliopi!

  3. 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.

  9. 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.
