Pretty much every time I read one of your posts I am grateful to be living where I'm living and I admire your stoicism.

I also have many many orange and yellow poppies in my garden (too many I am told by MLW) but not bicolour ones. I have mostly orange and a few, perhaps 2%, are yellow. I've been trying to introduce red ones by sowing literally thousands of red poppy seeds but each year following an attempt I am back to hundreds of orange one.
