Post by: doganjo on August 10, 2013, 08:42:53 pm

Anybody want any seeds for peach coloured poppies?  They're about ready to pop.

I don't know which rock I've been under but I didn't know until this year how many different colours poppies come in - nor the fact that some are annual and some perennial. We've had white, yellow, orange and red perennials and pink, purple and red frilly annuals plus the standard wild ones. Could do a seed swap for your peach if you want?

Deal! 
Send your Address by PM  and I'll post some off to you - I'll take them from different plants but they're all the same colour.  Wish I'd photographed them now.  :innocent:

Photo of the last of them, sending some seeds to Hester today in exchange for some different coloured ones that she has.

I love poppies - we have them popp(y)ing up all over the place here. Along with the aquilegia and the foxgloves  :)

I think its been a great dry summer for poppies as they are so delicate (like me) they do not last long in wind and rain, I love all the cottage garden flowers .....they make a dull day shine with happiness :wave:

Got 'em thanks! Still collecting at this end - realised we had some others in a cottage garden mix so you'll get a real mixture, hopefully next week.

Its the 19th of November and I have still got orange poppies coming to flower?

Yes please, I will take some seeds, poppies seem to be a more successful flower around here after dandy lions.

Sorry, that was way back in August - all gone, I'm afraid.  :'(
