Growing poppies that come in every year is what is something to look foreword every spring. The flowers are so delicate with the style and color color fashioned for a Queen.

Every season I save the poppy seed heads paint them bright colors to mix in with dried floral arrangements. The critters never bother the poppies…above or below ground. Hurray!
One of the few flowers that have survived many years.

I would imagine it's tough to put up with plants stolen right from the garden in the city. Poppies have very deep root systems and once removed they don't do well. Most poppy plants grown in US gardens haven't enough medicinal properties to develop into any drug content .
