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.

Do you have Welsh poppy on the allotment?

No none on the allotment, pretty though they are they would be weeds there.
:-)

And I hope it's not going to be taken over as a brown field site or for an
Olympic car park :-(

I hope so too, our old large site is being turned into a Town Park (so they
say, little movement there despite us all being kicked off a couple of years
ago) the one we moved to is only a small site near the M25/M3 Thorpe
junction and we are too far away and on the opposite side of London from the
2012 Olympics area to be of any interest to them, thank goodness. Don't get
me going on that subject,... please! :-(
