The loss in the garden is more than compensated for by the wonderful displays of the wild varieties that frequently grace our country fields \u2013 there are few more stunning sights in nature than a field of poppies as the sun rises or sets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the UK the Poppy has come to symbolise \u201cRemembrance\u201d as a consequence of the trench welfare which took place during the first World War in the fields of Flanders, a place where millions of Poppies grew and thousands of troops perished. The humble Poppy had had equally as important a role to play in the world of medicine where one variety produces edible seeds from which the drug Opium is extracted \u2013 a drug that has resulted in both despair when used for recreational purposes but delight when used in anyone of its derived narcotic forms morphine etc to relieve pain and suffering from so many in various stages of post operative procedures and the less fortunate suffering from terminal illnesses. A humble flower which has had an immense impact upon the world in which we all live.<\/p>\n<p>To quote <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/italy\/umbria-and-le-marche\/ancona\"><em>\u201cLonely Planet\u201d<\/em><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0 in their description of the city of Ancona -Ancona is \u201c<em>Often brushed aside as being just another of\u00a0<\/em><em>Italy\u2019s<\/em><em> bolshie, gritty port towns, Ancona is no beauty at first glance from the ferry, it&#8217;s true.
