This is Lottie very hot and bothered outside the rear garden; please
note, poppies; I have several sorts, again, which sort are these
particular ones as my neighbour keeps on asking questions I can't
answer? Note the shrubbery was all grown from kernels and cuttings,
taken by me; including the now full size Silver Birch,(plural) not
bad for someone who knows little about gardening, if I do say so
myself.

Papaver Orientale

I would have been a little less precise (Papaver orientale agg.) as
several species are involved in the breeding of the oriental poppies of
gardens, but perhaps she wanted the cultivar name.

How did your silver birch reach full size so quickly? The one in a garden behind
our house is at least 30 years old and is still growing higher and higher and
...

The first one I put in was a spindle, about 12 years ago. I planted
all the rest from germinating the seeds in sand and a scant handful of
garden soil. Where they are planted, the land is not good, rocky
underneath and with seams of clay, not the clay of the UK but pottery
clay, almost white; sticky and totally no good for plants. Silver
Birch love it.

Thanks that's a good site; I had forgotten it was just an oriental
one, the one of Opium????

Thanks Stewart, any information at any level is very useful. My
neighbour just asked what type it was, I had a senior day(s) and
forgot.

Always tell them opium and that you alternate with your hemp crops.
