Yes! It’s actually totally true that they used to use poppies as a pain killer and to put you to sleep (sometimes accidentally killing you 😂) so the Greek and Roman gods associated with those things were sometimes depicted with poppies

If you can find the plugs at the garden centre or online (I got them at my local) my black cherry million bells are still going! But the hyacinths are on offer that’s why I got them 😂 (www.farmergracy.co.uk/products/hya...) and they do come back every year!

Yes I am the same they don’t make it if I leave them down and sometimes they don’t store well either so often I treat them as annuals and just get a few. They’re still flowering now so they do keep going for a while if it’s not too cold!

No it’s actually just the leaves of the dahlia variety! I grow this one called Dracula which is similar, with black foliage too 😍🖤

I need to find out what this dahlia is called because I’m always looking for more with black foliage! 😍🖤👍

Thank you! And it’s been so nice to recycle the plants and give them another home 😂👍🪦

It’s in the Netherlands near Tilburg! So we travel over there from the UK on a ferry. Yes I’ve been to Florida many times but also California and Vegas. I haven’t done any of the smaller US parks though like I’ve never been to Dollywood 😭 which looks fantastic 😍
