Oriental poppies


Oriental poppies (papaver orientalis)

I planted this poppy only last year and it had over 20 flowers in full bloom all at the same time. It has been much admired by my neighbours. They have all been promised plants, once I have taken some successful root cuttings - No luck so far though!!!
