purple poppy

this dark poppy was self sown.
i had grown some others the year before, but i dont recall one like this.
only one, but a beauty.
self pollinated too,
i have some seeds, if someone would like to trade on other poppy seed types.
arte in Oz.

I'would love to tradew with you. I have a salmon/coral colored peony poppy. This is what she looks like.

Gorgeous!poppy.Looks like laurens grape poppy.

Hi folks, yes, i did sow some Laurens Grape the year before,
i guess this one may be self sown from that lot.
thanks for the i.d. skimper, and the trade Robynznest.

I planted some red oriental poppy seeds early spring, around May. They didnt do anything, nothing germinated on that spot. Now, do you think i can have some hope that maybe it will germinate next spring?

I really don't don't if it will or not. But if you would like to try again I have some I could send you.

Oh thank you Roby, what kind do you have?

Dmailing you.

wow the laurnes grape is beautiful

I love Poppies and have sown hundreds...but I have not had many come in...finally this yellow one did come in and has self sown for the last couple of years...but no other cultivars have grown for me...

hi Janet,
it's a lovely picture, nice combination of colors.
I have that yellow one growing too, it's a standout!
i'm not a big fan of yellow flowers, but that Escholtzia is definately a fave.
I also have a pinkish-purplish variety of it, if you'd like to try it, i can send you some seeds.

That's sad that your attempts at the other poppies have not been succesful,
i wonder why? they grow easily for me, like weeds!
i have grown a few different varieties of P.somniferum, and have collected lots of seed for a scatter mix, sort of throw it about the garden and forget.
and they come up well.
i have seed to share if you'd like some,
mail me!
poppies are really beautiful, even the foliage is a standout,
i have been collecting seeds from internet sources, for our next winter here.
should be a wonder of colors next Spring.
the pic is of another variety of Escholtzia, it was called 'Mother of Pearl'
grown from seed.
bye for now.

Thanks, I am going to try again though...I do love poppies! They are just such great flowers and the colors are truly wonderful! They look so delicate yet are so strong!

I've had success with this purple and have enough for several trades. I am interested in similar types of poppy. bob

never seen one quite so..shaggy.
good one!
