I visited Terry Tippett's today for her plant sale and noticed one of the "controversial" lilac poppies growing wild in a pot. I asked what is was called to discover it was an opium poppy. Well you have heard of the opium fields of Afghanistan and here am I cultivating the opium fields of Mas del Sol.
Who knows when all those heads were picked down the road, perhaps it was not the neighbour but a passing drug cartel from Marseille. Before long I could be in the middle of drug busts and "go fasts" and all for some very pretty poppies. I googled opium poppies and the first post was an American saying it was illegal to grow them in the US of A. I wonder about France?
