Found in my garden this morning a beautiful poppy exact variety unknown - I'm not sure where it came from but it adds an exciting splash of colour. Cleverly it's positioned itself in the purple bed amongst all the Allium 'Purple Sensation' now out and reminds me what a great planting combination purple and orange can be.
Papaver orientale is an excellent species with some wonderful varieties the most well known of which are probably 'Beauty of Livermere' a wonderful blood red colour and 'Patty's Plum' of a rich damson sorbet colour but there are many other colours. It's not a plant I often include in planting plans but its now on my list of favourites.
