I have been a fan of the song Amapola and I would like to know if anyone has seen an actual amapola flower? Are amapolas beautiful flowers and what do they actually look like? I also think Amapola is a beautiful name as well

I would post a picture, but my computer won't allow pictures to download.
However, here is a youtube video (believe it or not) of amapolas (3:53 long)

So amapolas are really poppies after all. Because when I first heard the song Amapola sung by The Chase UK host Bradley Walsh I thought it was about a fictional flower and I didn't know that amapolas are really beautiful flowers that really existed. In fact due to the song Amapola being my favorite song Amapola has now become one of my nicknames that Mom often calls me. Thank you for the information and the beautiful picture of the amapolas MissT3

I think amapolas are wonderful flowers and they would be great to plant in my flower box but I have outdoor cats that love to jump into flower boxes and they would make a mess of the amapolas. But I have a lot of Easter lillies at the entrance of my house that Mom usually gets for Easter flowers and Mother's Day flowers and she loves them. I would like to grow amapolas someday in put them in my vase on my coffee table because that's currently my favorite flower

Hi Bestie! Since you like Amapolas, I thought you would like the lyrics to this song. Here is some trivia: A host of the British version of the game show "The Chase" put out a cd of songs that included this one. Can you guess who he is?

Amapola, lindisima amapola
Sera siempre mi alma
Tuya sola
Yo te quiero amada niña mía
Igual que ama la flor la luz del día

Amapola, lindisima amapola
No seas tan ingrata
Mirame
Amapola, amapola
Como puedes tu vivir tan sola

Amapola, lindisima amapola
No seas tan ingrata
Mirame
Amapola, amapola
Como puedes tu vivir tan sola

Bradley Walsh does a really pretty version of Amapola and it's because of this song that amapolas are my favorite flowers and Bradley Walsh's version of Amapola is my favorite song of him that I love to play all the time on my CD player
Thanks for your reply my friend
