Intruders


The garden has been invaded by poppies - simple orange ones and this stunner. With the exception of one poppy plant my sister gave me, I don't know where they came from - they just appeared. I like poppies and have left them to flower, even though they are not edible.

In garden centres in the Czech Republic I could have bought seeds of the opium poppy which the Czechs grow for the black seeds or "mak" which feature so prominently in Czech baking, but I wasn't sure about how they might be viewed by HM Customs.
