Kelly, I've tried for years to get some perennial Poppies going, and have had a lot of failures too. Finally I've got a couple that are thriving, an orange double one from a DG member, and a peach one from KimM. The orange double had one bloom last year, and this year had several. Last years single bloom gave rise to several seedlings too, which has me extra excited! I've tried for years to start them from seed, with no luck. The peach one hasn't bloomed, but looks healthy and bigger than last year, so I'm pretty sure I'll see blooms next year, I can't wait to see that one!

I'd like to get Patty's Plum, Royal Wedding, and a true pink one. I guess while I'm at it I need a good red one too, LOL. I wonder where the best place to get them is? Maybe Bluestone?
