its going to be gorgeous when the flowers come out, ive got 5 separate poppy plants in my garden but only one is doing really well but it still hasnt got as many buds as yours, dont forget to show us a pic when the flowers are out.

I will do Summerbreeze.I have to say all three of these Patty's Plum that I have in my front garden are spectacular.Mind you, they've been in there about 8 years so have had plenty time to establish and bulk up! I have other Papaver(oriental poppies) but I have to say, like yours, they don't really do much.These were obviously from really good stock! They were bought as bare roots mail order! probably from T&M but not certain now!!

I love this one Paul, I must check mine tomorrow mind you it's not very old so it wont have as many buds as yours. At the moment it's pouring with rain and bitterly cold.....
