They evoke so many different emotions -- from the pure joy of their variety and gaiety and abundance, to the profound poignancy of their reminding us of all those lost in needless cruel wars.

We love your Poppies a...Hello Niall and Antoinette:<br />We love your Poppies and, indeed, like all varieties of them, single, double and in their rainbow of colours. The second one you show is particularly attractive and such a good idea to collect seed and sow it, although whether it will decide to grow where you put it is another matter entirely!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-61960715318376807872011-06-26T19:23:03.633+02:002011-06-26T19:23:03.633+02:00I'm a poppy fan.

I haven't seen the second and third varieties before.<br /><br />Well I suppose I may have seen the second, but I wouldn't have recognised it as a poppy.GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.com
