Poppies

I plant flowers in the springtime. I have certain favorites, ones that come back every year like African daisies, mums, firewheels and the like. I plant sunflowers of all varieties.

This year, by accident, in a mixed assortment, I discovered poppies.

Now, they are my addiction. I cannot wait until next spring to do this poppy planting in a big way.

“Poppies, Odyssey of an Opium Eater

Based on a true story, “POPPIES: Odyssey of an Opium Eater” tells the fascinating tale of a reformed heroin addict who is now addicted to poppies. He fights this strange addiction while risking his life to save a child. David Bertelsen plays the likeable leading role in this truly independent film. Adapted from the autobiography of Pacific Northwest resident Eric Detzer, this film spins a tale that is so unique it could only be true.”
