They were a gift from our neighbour opposite, who, I think has become tired of waiting for us to plant our new flower beds, new since May. May last year! The seedlings took well and now they look great, attracting bees and hover flies. Thanks Ray ;0)
I love big floppy tissue paper-like poppies. We had some like this in the garden when we first moved in to this house, but we lost them. I've recently been given three plants, and they're full of big fat flower buds. I'm hoping the seeds will take and we'll get more next year.
