Poppies

Poppies have always been a favorite flower of mine. They were one of the first flowers I planted when I bought my first house in the early 1990s. I posted about poppies on this blog last year and in 2010. Here are links to those posts.

The poppies we grow in New England are a perennial so they will not only come back every year, but they will also get bigger year after year. Enjoy them in the garden, because if you cut them for arrangements, the pedals will drop almost immediately.
