Day 164 Poppies Everywhere
Monday, June 13- Walter tells me that poppies are a terrible weed in Europe and I sure can see that now. They were everywhere and right out in the middle of fields of wheat, oats and soybeans. Here is a shot of one of the fields we visited for our shots and a closer shot of where the poppies were growing. Obviously they must have sprayed for them in the wheat field, as you can see on the left side of the road. It looks like they raise alot of green manure fields, especially using oats, and that is where these ones were growing on the right side of the road. From a distance you can see the red/orange glow of the poppies and that is what we chased for hours.

Beautiful poppies-I don’t care if they are weeds over there.
I want some in my garden.

Poppies in Europe must be like Dalmation Toadflax or Leafy Spurge here in the US! I love the daisies in the middle of the poppies!
I LOVE poppies. They’re one of my favorites.
