Oh yes poppies - I like the taller opium poppies with the big seed heads. They appeared spontaneously in my last three gardens - the seeds can lie dormant for up to 100 years until you disturb the ground. In this garden they didn't come until this year when two plants appeared in the path - which then had to be dug up for the drains. And they hadn't flowered so no seeds - and not sure I've got any old seeds left from my other gardens - though I did save plenty at one time but spread them all over here to no avail.
