    This works well with certain varieties of sunflowers, which will regrow two new heads to replace the one you cut off. Sunflower heads are pretty good grilled up or pan fried, and have a texture similar to artichoke hearts, since artichokes are in the same family.

    Beautiful to see the poppies this week, especially as an Australian. On the 25th of April is our ANZAC day (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) which is a national day of commemoration of Australia and NZ victims of war and recognition of their roles. We have dawn services across the countries and in other countries as well, and the poppy is the emblem of remembrance for us.

    I don't know if it's true but I heard also that since the main purpose of the plant is to reproduce, once it forms mature seeds and releases them, it feels ok to die or not produce anymore. So if you cut them off before seeding, maybe that helps it want to live and keep trying?
