Plum poppies!

My purple "Patty's Plum" poppies are in bloom! These oriental poppy blossoms sit atop long wiry stems and only grace us with their presence for a short week or so each year. Their dusty lavender skirts—like crinkled, ruffly satin dresses the day after the prom—have a big dollop of blackberry jelly in the center. Deliciousness!

  1. I am wondering if you have any seeds from this poppy. I have been wanting to grow this for a long time and can not find any seeds. Thanks!
