    I sowed the seeds from Clueless late this year, due to being on holiday and they are just starting to flower now! Beautiful! I've got loads of seeds left from last year, and will now have more to spread about.:hapydancsmil:

      I have plenty now, thank you Clueless. :)

      Papaver (giant poppies), these are the poppies Clueless will have seeds for, they are a deep cerise (pink) but unfortunately the picture looks more red.

            They are rather stunning :wub2:

            I'll have some seeds please if that's okay :)

            PM me your address and I'll sort out an SAE :blue thumb:

            I'd love some seeds too, Clueless. If you could send me your address, I'll work out a way to get them out here (might have to rope in the M-i-L!)

                I've never sown them, they sow themselves, so I don't really know when is the right time to be honest.

                  I sowed mine in mid March last year and grew them on indoors until it was warm enough for them to go outside, first to the greenhouse for a couple of weeks and then to a bed. :)

                      Sowed mine about 3 weeks ago in a unheated greenhouse, but since the better weather these have popped their heads above the soil :)

                      And if the weather likes this, then should be able to prick them out of the
                      seed tray in a few days
