Cambrian Poppies

  Just because a flower is easy to grow, it can be taken for granted, can't it? ⁠
And these little Cambrian or Welsh Poppies are so obliging, much tougher than they look. Seeding all over the garden into any space they can (yes, you could call them a 'weed' if you must.)⁠
Dependably flowering in May in zingy Lemons & Oranges, they brighten up dull spaces (like here by my workshop). Adored by the bees too.⁠
And in tiny bud vases, a cheerful addition for several days to my kitchen (& yes, they often appear at weddings too).⁠ So much easier to grow than their diva cousins the Iceland Poppies & definitely a cheerful addition to a Spring garden.
