\"poppy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poppies are easy to grow, sometimes too easy\u00c2\u00a0 because they self sow all over my garden and despite the delicate petals I thought of them as weeds. So much so that I forgot to photograph any earlier this year but now have captured some pictures of perfectly purple poppies.<\/p>\n
