I have no idea why, but for years I have loved Poppies.....family, friends have sent postcards or photos for me in all shapes and sizes....so I can frame the pics.....Try as I may I cant grow the Red ones....the only colour is a sort of pale orange poppy that grows in my garden....so if any friends have any handy tips....please pass the details on....cheers Katy
Hope you like the picture my sister gave me years ago.....x
