Opium Poppy


Opium Poppy (Papaver somniferum (Opium poppy))

These beauties first appeared in the West border about five years ago. Selfseeding in the patio, they no longer occupy the border, so I shall be seedcollecting this year, in an attempt to return this lovely annual poppy to its original position.
