 Poppies Bloom at Sangdong Lake Korea.net 

Seoul’s landscape remains bright and colorful. Flowers sprout everywhere and their abundance draws both local and foreign tourists to different areas across Seoul and its nearby cities. If you’re this season’s flower searcher, you can plan your next venue and schedule a visit to Sangdong Lake Park. The park has fields and fields of poppies.

Poppies are short-lived flowering plants. They grow annually or biennially, depending on the location or the cultivation method. Here in Seoul, they bloom between spring and early summer. These delicate flowers grow easily from seed. Legend has it that the ancient goddess of fertility and agriculture Demeter loved poppies. Farmers would plant poppies around their fields with hopes that these would bloom, make the goddess happy and that they would be blessed with a good crop.
