Is there a reason as to why they are forbidden? I love poppies too, and thankfully, they grow wild around the edges of my garden, though not in great numbers which I suppose only makes me appreciate them moreso. 🙏
I think the reason is struggle against drug addiction. I don’t know how it’s working and I’m not sure at all that it helps 🙂 And I really can’t understand why even decorative forms are forbidden, but I’ve read and heard that people who grew poppies were checked by the police somehow. It’s not a pleasant thing I think.
I prefer a single flower also. Though a field of flowers is something wonderful.

I like poppies. It’s funny but in Russia these flowers are forbidden. Ordinary people almost stopped growing them, even decorative kinds.

This is my thought.. not all are Opium Poppies, am I right? What a torment for innocent gardeners!

Yes, there are about 100 varieties of poppy and a lot of them are just beautiful and not harmful in anyway.
