I blog about these same poppies every May. I hope that continues.
My poppy population gets smaller each year despite my efforts to save and share seed.
I would hate to lose these treasured flowers from an old friend who is no longer here.
Bill Troutman gave me these seeds decades ago.
The singles bloom first, only a few doubles have appeared so far.
I cannot imagine a more beautiful plant, bud, bloom or seed pod.
This is one of my most valued plants.
I hope it will continue to dazzle me every spring forever.

They are so beautiful in any light, but when the evening sun shines through the petals it is dreamy.

So pretty, esp. when backlit by the sun. I love lettuce-leaf poppies. I have both the red and mauve, which bloom around July 1. I sprinkle seeds around like a salt shaker once the pods mature. Sometimes the bees create a raspberry colored hybrid, but generally I try to keep the two beds separate so as to retain the original colors.

I have tried to save double seeds separate. Not sure that changed anything.
