@bigemrg @flof1952 I love the Welsh yellow poppy but you can have too much of a good thing. I've fought a losing battle with them for 30 yrs. At first I thought they're beautiful so left them all. Next year an explosion and they were everywhere. The problem here is the wind is so strong & frequent that they're blown everywhere and start growing in places you cannot get them out from. Fully grown they have a huge taproot so I take them out when I see them. Love them but I have to cull them.

@angipangi - I guess I'm lucky that most of my garden is pond, and that's about the only place they definitely won't grow! πŸ˜€

The gardens round here have an abundance of these. The birds are busy 😊
