Single pink-lavender flowers with a darker blotch. Sturdy
plants to 4 feet tall, blooming in late June and early July. Originally
collected from the garbage pile at Monet's garden in Giverny, France in the
late 1990s, by a guy called Aiello.
Impressively germinated within one week, and fast to flower,
late sowing and performed well with it, growing between three to four feet in
height, nice frilly pure white flowers, as frilly poppies go this is one of the
finest.
Fast to germinate, one of the first to be sown and one of
the last to flower. Light green fleshly serrated leaves. Flowers almost
black/purple with pink tipped petals, on close inspection the flowers shimmer
in the light, plants grow four to five feet tall. A joy see, but only one to
three flowers per plant so plant the on mass, magical, unusual and rare.
[Notes: Starry Night is an exotic and magnificent
multi-colour Papaver somniferum flower, extending from shades of red, purple,
black, and florescent pink, and originally obtained back in 2011 from
poppyseeddreams.com but has been sadly out of stock ever since.]
This is the Izmir special bought from the now defunct Izmir
Farm in Canada, allegedly imported straight from a poppy farm in Tasmania, out
of all the Tasmanian poppies I have grown to date, this one seems in be one of
the most genuine, this is without a doubt a supra pharmaceutical poppy, plants
grow to around 6 feet and produce a light pink to almost white flower in about
60 days from germination. Each plant will only produce one to three gigantic
ribbed oval pods; some of the pods are almost completely black in colour.
NOTE: I had to buy these in, and the pods or a slightly
different shape.
An annual poppy, to around 60 -
90cm in height. Large red flowers and large pods to the size of a tennis balls,
apparently, though mine never made to this size, but they were a late sowing.
Very attractive to bees.
This
is an Heirloom cultivar from Turkey. The flowers are bright red with a dark
basal spot. The plants are multi-headed. Producing medium sized, perfectly
round pods.
