Poppy field

Poppy field
Near my sister's home, Algete, Madrid Province.
2016 was the last proper poppy field performance. For whatever reason (weather? pesticides?) 2017, 2018 and 2019 were no-shows.
On the horizon at the left is the serrated crest of La Sierra de La Cabrera, favourite granite walking country.

Poppies like disturbed ground. If it wasn't tilled or left bare in 2016 2017 the seeds wouldn't germinate. The seeds last a long time in the ground, am if the area is cleared they will grow and the poppy field will emerge again.

Maybe that's the reason, Amelia. I will check again next year of course! Many thanks!

They look stunning Andy. I think someone must have gone along the A303 with wild flower seeds as it is looking so beautiful at the moment. Also on the outskirts of Shaftesbury, so many poppies.

So beautiful, Andy!
The destroying of these wild plants by pesticides is a disgrace,
not only because of the beauty of wildflowers.

Oh what an awful shame that a field with this amount of beauty is no more. I've never seen a field with this amount of red poppies in it before, so it should be preserved.

Wonderful view. Here in France it's the contrary: each year we see more and more wild poppies in the fields...

Sehr schöne Mohnwiese! Die Verwendung von Pestiziden und Herbiziden sollte verboten werden. Aber solange große Konzerne, die diese Mittel herstellen, vom Lobbyismus geschützt werden, wird die Natur leider nicht geschützt. Das ist skandalös!

Thank you, Roger!
Of the three photos you commented on today, this is the only place I still walk in (only now the poppies have been eradicated and the golden wheat field stubs seen in my recent photos are what replaced them).
