Royal Wedding Poppies

I'm not normally particularly interested in the royal family, but I have to admit to getting a bit caught up in the wedding fever.
I saw these poppies at Suttons

and I really like them.
Is anyone else tempted?

And if I get them, will I be able to harvest some seeds for next year, or will they really be a one hit wonder?

 

Hi Rachel,

The link needs adjusting a bit there.

 

Just tried it myself, I think its Suttons website again

This will be the link. They look all right...but I think there are prettier Oriental Poppies than those ones...

 

I have seen prettier poppies as well.
Like I said, I'm definitely getting a bit suckered by this wedding nonsense!

 

I think they are oriental poppies as well and unlikely to flower well this year if at all.
Call me cynical but i just think it's Sutton's way of cashing in by being a bit economical with the truth. Would a seed company do that??

 

Yes. I can't see them flowering this year. The nice thing about buying some of these would be that every time you look at them in the future they would take you back through the years, what with them being associated with a big event.
