"madgardener" wrote in message news papaver Somniferum's are identified by their lettice like silvery blue/green color, and single, double or shaggy "peony" like flowers. Once they fall from the pods, they need stratification thru winter and will come up by the hundreds. Beautiful flowers. All sorts of shades of reds, pinks, white, no blues or purples, Ah, but there ARE purples - a pale lavender form is very common - most of the seedlings that spring up in my garden seem to be this pale mauve shade. There is also a named form, 'Lauren's Grape', developed by noted Colorado plantswoman Lauren Springer, and another deep burgundy-maroon form sometmes labled as 'black' or sold under the name 'Midnight'. pam - gardengal |
