Jasmine kindly shared some Dark Plum Poppy seeds with me and I think this beauty must be the first one of them, as I've certainly not had it before, the thing is it's on it's own and nowhere near where I though I sowed them   Some of my normal red ones made themselves at home in the garlic bed & have grown huge with the extra rich soil in there.

Good luck with them wendya - once they flower and make seed heads you will never be without them! |

Beautiful Rosefriend isn't it strange what different conditions do though, if your's are coming to an end. I've only got the first annual one opened yesterday, I tried to get a pic just now, but the sun wasn't properly on them, so I'll try again tomorrow.

Thanks for the nom Jilly - this year is relatively unknown for us here - normally I am lagging a couple of weeks behind you all, - this year we too had hardly a winter and suddenly it was as though everything exploded and made up for the terribly long winter we had last year... RF |

Love the markings on that one Ladygardener. My Dark Plum ones have started to come out now, thought I'd best get a pic as it's quite breezy here atm & not sure how long it will last  |

That's beautiful Jilly. Rosefriend, it's been a strange year for you garden wise. Last spring I threw loads of poppy seeds on waste ground at the allotment, today when I went there some of them had started to bloom. This 1st pic is on my own plot and the flowers are massive.  These others are on the waste ground. It was difficulty to get near them because of the bees.    |

They're all smashing.  The 1st of mine opened yesterday at the allotment. Danish Flag but I did'nt have my camera with me. None of mine here at home have opened yet whereas Jenny's have been blooming for weeks and weeks. |

This one is a particular beauty Rosefriend, but you've got such a lovely selection this year. A couple from me.  There are pink poppies in here amongst the Borage honest  I couldn't get a better angle without moving the bird bath.  |

I love that dash of pink there in the middle of the borage Jilly. What a treat for the bees. |
