Poppy field, Algete

Poppy field, Algete
Sadly these haven't been seen here since 2016. A change in farm ownership put paid to the proliferation of poppies at this time of year (mid May) in order to increase profitability. Poppies are picturesque but they render the grain un-harvestable. I post this now as this is what the fields around here USED to look like at this time of year!
Just noticed this was taken exactly 8 years ago! How time flies when you're having fun!!
Suggest on large and maybe large again..
Probably posted before, but I wanted to pay homage to these fields as they were once.
Sight and sound. This touched me. David Bowie's daughter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ss2qEgU0ZQ

Many thanks, Keith!
Interesting in that It was actually a cloudy day but sometimes that helps with floral pics.

I think they use a powerful herbicide so the chances are remote, sadly!

It's so good of you to take this photo of these poppies. I just love these flowers, especially like this, all together with the greenery between the flowers. It's such a shame that more and more farmers are clearing the ground of them, as I feel it'd be so much better having them growing like this.

I'll go and have a look tomorrow, Jenny and see if I can find any. But I don't hold out much hope.

Well, farmers need to make a living and so I don't blame them, Jenny. Still, I wish it were otherwise!
