Papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise'

Stunning shot!

lovely barbara, mine had one flower this year, not sure what happened but buds just didnt grow properly and dried up except one which was beautifull ;o)

Thanks, all...:-)

Sandra, that happened to a couple of buds on my poppies - I think they got really soaked in rain, and just rotted inside the 'casing'. They looked as though they'd dried up, but hadn't really. :-(( I just cut the stems back as if they 'had' flowered.

thanx barbara will cut them all off then ;o((

Stunning close up Barbara, mine is flowering too lots of buds;0)

They might not last too long, but aren't they beautiful! :-))

They are......

That is stunning Spritz love the colour.....

Thanks - it's quite a gentle colour....apart from the centre!
