Is that in your garden?  We have lots of red, orange & purple poppies if various types on our allotments just now.

Yes! In my 'secret garden'. This one didn't flower last year, but these (there are actually two flowers although the angle is wrong to see them) are flowering well. There were two previous flowers (seeds?!) and maybe a couple more to some. Other than the odd lavenderish coloured opium poppy self seeding from an ancient sowing in the old polytunnel, I only have the wild perennial Welsh poppies here I think. I'm not sure whether this one will turn out to be properly perennial. The first blue one I had died after flowering, but I'm ever hopeful!

Finding a shady spot right by the river, surrounded by happy kids we don't know, to plop the chairs, then swimming in said river in the sunshine and afterwords eating jalapeno kettle chips and drinking strawberry lemonade out of faire bottles in the early evening.
