Trouble is Yorkshire that it almost certainly won't self seed in this shade.

Meanie - these are everywhere this year ... strange isn't it. We've had a few ourselves. I'll be keeping one of the seed pods though ... fingers crossed as I have a perfect place for these next year. Worth a go anyway.

Great shot too!

Thank you Mrv.
Always worth a go, we just have too many different shades dotted around the place for the odds to be good.

Meanie:

That's such a beautiful purple-colored poppy! Love it!

Delonix - the more insipid coloured ones irritate me, but this is far from insipid!

Meanie:

I agree 100%! : > )

Well, all of mine have now gone over - and as I don't grow any poppies at all, I'm going to see if the seeds will germinate next year - and even better, come true ... I'm going to have just the right brorder for those little fellas.

PM me in a month or so Mrv and I'll forward on some of our seeds too ( doubles the chances ).
