I've wondered about this too. Each year I get compliments from neighbors I've
scarcely met on my poppies. I'm not much of a gardener, but I bought the roots
from White Flower Farm, stuck them in the ground and have never had a problem
with them. They keep blooming magnificently. Then the flowers go away, and I
don't have anything else with which to impress the neighbors.

They look wonderful for a while, but we all know that they look icky once
they are done blooming ( big oriental poppies) Any ideas for what to plant
around them to disguise them? I"m in USDA zone 3 ( eastern WA)
