As you can see my plan didn't work very well. The wind kept whipping them around making them either face away from the camera, have their petals blown backwards or simply end up a blur. Given they would certainly be badly damaged if I left them I picked a big bunch and they're now inside where they are much better behaved.
Just to prove that you can sometimes be lucky, though, here's a photo of the first poppy flower we had this year. I took it a couple of days ago. Still not the greatest photo but isn't it a gorgeous colour.

It is a gorgeous colour Helen. I have a friend in the UK who absolutely adores poppies so she too would enjoy the ones in your garden.
I've always loved Iceland poppies, Jo, and try to grow them every winter but the plants aren't always available. This year they were so I'm very happy. The ordinary red ones are left to rampage in the less cared for parts of the garden every year much to my little granddaughter's delight.
