Lovely!
I brought some seed heads from my old house when I moved here.
It took a while for them to appear but I get them every year now.
They bring a smile to my face."Nicos, Queen of Gooooogle" and... GYO's own Miss Marple

For some reason I don't have any in my garden either. I must nick some seed next time I see some.Originally posted by veggiechicken View PostThey're luvly, Ioan. Thanks for sharing.

I had the first seeds germinate in a tub which I left to it's own devices next to a west facing wall.
After that , nothing, and I thought I'd lost them all.
A couple years later I found about 3 plants growing from crevices in the wall facing both west and east...now I have about 8 plants- all self seeded from the original plant.
I somehow seem to do best with plants which thrive on neglect!

I have sprinkled thousands of the tiny, wild Flanders poppies everywhere in the garden, field etc over the years - and nothing has come up yet!
One day maybe, when the conditions are right????

The red poppies like soil that is disturbed which is why they grow in corn fields.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poetComment
