    Lots of nice things here. Love the transparent wing and hightlighted bee. The darker background allows the poppy to pop. Have sown poppy seeds a few times with no results so far. They grow all over the place like a weed in Chile. I had one come up in a padock but the cows ate it.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      Nice words Hans - thank you. This one was from a friends garden and they are beautiful. Maybe they require different soil to what you have. This may help with growing the poppies: Plenty of sunshine. Use chook manure or cow manure and a soil that is high in phosphorus. A fast draining soil is important too.
