Welsh Poppy. Meconopsis cambrica


The bane of my garden!

Oh I love them, never a problem here they just seed around gently and
mingle with the other plants.


They seed vigorously here, among plants including veg, in cracks and
paths. I do think they're bonny but they're very difficult to uproot. Even
the hens don't eat them! I don't mind bigger poppies, the annual ones,
because they can easily be pulled out after flowering. It's just the
darned Welsh ones :-( Perhaps you don't grow veg. Our garden is small and
I have to make full use of every part.

Our garden is small too, and even smaller considering the pond takes up
almost half the space, but we have an Allotment for growing our veg.
