Maybe a little vacation in June and you could see them for real. here's the link:<br /><br />http://www.refordgardens.com/english/Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-29781513838279653172010-03-26T08:46:58.147-07:002010-03-26T08:46:58.147-07:00this is great, Ginny. unheard of before your post....this is great, Ginny. unheard of before your post. red i know about, blue is beautiful. great post, thanks for telling us.

When I was growing up, the local Lions Club would sell red poppies once a year and the money would go to help veterans in the hospital.
