    I had some of these in the garden but they have gone. I would love some more. If anyone has them could they part with some seeds? I don't know what I could give in return but am open to negotiation:wink:

    I don't have any red ones but I do have lots of these growing wild around the garden - although they are very late this year and haven't started blooming yet. I can save you some seed if you want. :thumb: :)

    Depending on siting and soil conditions they grow anywhere from 2ft high to 6ft high but are usually 4 - 5ft. The leaves are a blue type of colour and the plants are late starters but grow very fast.

    We never bother to scatter the seeds as they seem to manage that quite easily all by themselves. The birds brought them to the garden many years ago :gnthb:.

    I've got some double red seeds drying at the moment. Send me a pm with your address and I'll get some off to you.

    I'm after any poppy seeds, any colours - I've got the double red, double pink and single reds and pinks. I've got a huge area at the bottom of my garden that I'm going to turn over to poppies so if anyone has anything they don't want, please keep me in mind. Thankyou so much.

    Granny,
    The seeds are ready so I hope to get them off to you this week if I have time. :gnthb:

    Clematis,
    I'm not sure whether we have any seeds from our other poppies apart from the double pink. I think they have all been pulled up but I shall ask Mrs shiney. :)
