I didn't realize you had been ill and not feeling well. I hope you are feeling up to par now...and enjoying your gardening season! I love the Spanish Lavender you showed in one of your previous posts. I love it's fullness...and the feathery 'wings'! Your poppies are so pretty. I have not yet grown any poppies! I haven't found the right spot for them. Next year I will put them in my front garden, where they get the most sun. Your photos are lovely...some of them almost look like paintings;-)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-83553305808273082492009-07-17T16:08:03.792-07:002009-07-17T16:08:03.792-07:00Actually, when I saw these, I thought they looked ...Actually, when I saw these, I thought they looked more like Shirley Poppies. Shirleys are the only kind of I have thus far grown with any measure of success. I've got some orientals planted that are doing okay so far (just planted this summer). We'll see if they come back next year. I KNOW the Shirleys will. :-)<br /><br />These are pretty, nonetheless!Kylee Baumlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288354709094515651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-629369488026897469.post-29105585157715496852009-07-16T09:04:22.823-07:002009-07-16T09:04:22.823-07:00I adore Poppies.

It seems like the new cultivers always come with lofty claims-and rarely deliver. <br />I have some flowers on my deck that no bee goes near-fancy new hybrids that came with a lot of fanfare and a hefty price tag to boot.

If they are anything like the california poppies I did last year then I hope to see a whole slew of them return next spring.

I haven't grown poppies in years and I've been looking at the doubles like you have in this post. Interesting to know they don't live up to the advertising.

You are correct, in Shirley Poppies we get all the color and delicate beauty with its self-sowing nature (not that mine have ever come back). Yes, let's see your Shirleys!Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15571791171336069727noreply@blogger.com
