The vibrant orange color of the poppies in our back yard is a real focal point from any of our back windows. We have a patch about 15 x 15 feet and for about a month and a half, they are just glorious. When the seed pods ripen and the flowers die, it isn't so pretty though, and I am considering moving them to the upper most terrace along our back fence so they will still be beautiful to see, but not so obvious when they don't look so wonderful. It is going to be quite a project if I ever get around to it.
