Thanks girls......there have been 23 buds in all, was Queen Victoria, Victoria Louise? I always thought it was named for her?

Ooh no, Queen Victoria was christened Alexandrina Victoria.....well you learn something every day...Lol!

What a lovely gentle colour, very, very pretty.

Lovely with the little purple flowers beneath Janey....

Beautiful planting going on there Janey..

LURV IT! Jx

Thanks everyone for the great comments.....it has been especially lovely this year with so many flowers........

What a lovely display! My poor poppies have been battered by the wind and the rain!

Lovely pink, I adore these large poppies......

Lovely pale coloured poppy. There are lots of wild red ones about along our country lanes.

how strange, mine is a real peachy colour!

Thanks girls...:0))
Mine too now Pam, I've spent a lot of today tying up plants after all the blustery wind..:((
Thanks Dd and Tet, I think it depends on your soil Tet, Mums is deep peach and yet it was originally from my plant, my soil here isn't too good.
Yes it's Poppy time again Linda, come on sun, it IS midsummer!!

What a lovely soft colour....you're obviously better off with your not so good soil Janey:-)

lovely janey, mine is lost somewhere at the back so i have to go and look at it haha, must bring it forward, dare not move it while in flower ;o)

They are pretty , mine are trying to burst out of there buds they wont be long now ....

it's a coincidence! I was looking at the Vesey's site this morning and saw this very var. on offer...Beautiful things...nicely photographed too!

Ha ha Ba, I remember you having one San, we were racing to post the first pic weren't we....they do grow large and very floppy, but I've loved this one this year.
I like the way they pop the bud covers off during the night Amy, there you are with more open flowers the next day...:)). Well fancy that Lori, are you going to get one? I wonder if they come true from seed...I could send you a seed head??
