You are lucky Owdboggy, garden centres here dont have ANY oriental poppies....its so frustrating, any gardening companies i tried on the internet had high postage charges and some of them had surcharges of maybe £15 on top to send to N Ireland addresses..

I've just checked the GoY Garden centre. If you click on plants, then P for Papaver, I think you'll find what you're looking for. It isn't named, but it looks very much like Patty's Plum to me.

To begin with they do not come true from seed so packets of seed would not be available.
As far as I can see when we go out Garden Centering, almost every one of them has it for sale.
