I have a few poppies blooming and I hope National Security, the FBI or any other freaking agencies will see it, send a chopper, take additional photographs for evidence, bust and search my home, then destroy my three plants.
Did you know that the current uprising in Afghanistan against the US occupation is just a drop in the bucket in the time frame of the next two decades? But what you might really have forgotten, is that Afghanistan is again the front supplier of opiates on the world marked, in particular to the US.
So we are being doped on one hand and then try to export democracy on the other.
How can a bunch of dope-heads bring democracy to anything if they are so fucking high that they don't even know what they are talking about?!
There is a word called "Schadenfreude" in the German tounge. It sort of translates into "Laughing my ass off about someone else's unnecessary collateral damage".
Well, I have Schadenfreude right now about the moaning and groaning of the fatal propulsions of the US attempt to be an empire in a world that needs no empires anymore.
In the mean time, poppies are illegal in the US.
But we love to import the sap.
(of course I cheated a bit for arguments sake; my poppies are totally legal. It is Papaver sonniferum you are not supposed to grow in the US. Mine are not of that kind, or so I believe ...)

really? i had no idea. these poppies are beautiful...they remind me of the scene in the wizard of oz where they all go to sleep.
mmmm...poppies...Zzzzzz
Post a photo of you slicing the pods open and collecting the resin - then they'll be at your door. Then again... they might send some marines to liberate you Zee!
ahh, didn't know that you do it that way Gary - slicing the pods before they bloom.
But it doesn't matter 'cause I care for the color not the sap!
Yes Meander, they are beautiful and fragile - a joy for just a few days.
All poppies?
They are our state flower.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!! Hope you don't feel blah anymore...
I had no idea poppies were illegal in the US, why is that??
There are different kind of poppies "before sunrise", just like different apple trees. Only one of them is "the bad apple" and is illegal to grow.
... regardless the political issue, Haider???
Anyhow, I very much liked your comment. I was never aware that the poppy flower was linked to Adonis. I always believed that Aphrodite compelled Myrrha (or Smyrna) to commit incest with Theias, her father, the king of Assyria to have Adonis come about, a Middle Eastern saga of Greek origin ...
Your version brings new light on this.
Well, hell. Soon everything will be illegal and then we can all relax, can't we? We can stop growing anything in the yard and allow television to show us the permitted parts of the world. Oh. Right. That's already in progress.
The poppies are lovely. I'm glad you won't have to hit the most-wanted list to keep them.
Poppys are illegial ?
I have great memories of an old lady that lived a mile or so up the road having tons of those things..I loved popping the seed things open.
Super color scheme, I like it! Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing this wonderful site with us.
