The wild version is bright red, but garden varieties have been selected to give a range of colors, including white, pink, rose, peach and lavender. Whatever the color, I think of the Flanders poppies every time I sow the tiny seeds of Papaver rhoeas. For a field weed, they can be maddeningly fickle.

As touching as some of the story threads are, what really comes through in this show is a love for this community of little money and big dreams. People in Washington Heights always seem to be dreaming of moving on to bigger and better places, but ultimately “In the Heights” is about appreciating the vibrancy and warmth of a beloved old neighborhood where everybody seems to be like one big family.
