Default almost white poppy???
My oriental poppy has just had its first flower : massive but almost white
Is it normal?
Is it a sign of some element lacking in the soil?

Where did you buy it from, and what colour was it supposed to be?

Were you hit by a cold spell. That can make the flowers white.

I've seen white poppies in catalogues- they are quite normal.

Just made some research and actually they come in every shade from white to dark red ! I suppose everything is ok as the plant itself look healthy.. Thanks anyway ! lots of stress for nothing!
