In high hopes for warmer weather, I just ordered six varieties of poppies from your website. I became a gardener five years ago when we moved onto three acres of family prairie land that had always and only been used for hay due to the boulders of Sioux Quartzite and poor soil. I have found successful ways of making great gardens bordered with the quartzite. Last fall alone, I planted 362 new bulbs; 147 of those were tulips. That is in addition to what I already had in the ground as "hand me down" seeds and bulbs from my husband's grandma. It is fair to say I'm obsessed! I take pride in finding rare flowers, so this should be fun! Thanks for all of the info! Right now there is a raging blizzard moving through.

I grow about 50 varieties of dahlias which they don't eat, but want other flowers that they don't eat that bloom earlier. Poppies are such happy flowers and looking forward to adding them to our garden. Thanks!

When well-grown, the foliage is spectacular. All, I thought when you saw these poppies you'd want to grow them, so I think this interview was a success! Mr. McGregor’s Daughter, I can believe it.

How inspiring! Poppies are among my favourite garden flowers, both annual and perennial, and we let them freerange whereever they wish. My favourites in the annuals are the black peony-type like Shelley shows in her post--we have lots of those and everyone wants them!
