Well, actually ... some filmmaker guy I once knew had a swathe of mauve poppies in his garden. I admired them and he brought me a film cannister full of seeds, which I planted, and the back garden becamse a forest of the things. In doing a search in books, it would seem that these were ... ummm ... narcotic-producing vegetation. They sprang up EVERYWHERE for a few years, but now they've completely disappeared - although not due to any meddling on my part.

Funny old world.
