Poppy 'Checkers'

Now, the card for this plant clearly states that it is a white poppy with black centre...but my eyes are not fooling me when it looks flourescent pink!! I'm hoping it will 'fade to white' but perhaps the GC has mislabelled it?

Does this mean it's days are numbered Sgbabe?

I would guess its happened to most people at sometime, i bought from a GC what i thought was papaver white a couple of years ago and you guessed it it came out red, but i made no mistakes this year i bought one with a flower. ;)

Frybo: ting ting ting, another bites the dust! I will give it a chance...if by next summer it doesn't bloom white, it will be walking the plank to the compost bin! I mean, I like pink as my garden theme is white, yellow and pink...but not flourescent!

Windy64: I hear you...I definitely hear you loud and clear! I'm going to be doing that too! :-)
