    It is called a "Danish Flag Poppy" there will no doubt be plenty of seed heads available if you would like one leave me your name address on pm.

    What an unusual and gorgeous poppy, rositu!

    Love your Incarvillea, strongy. After years of blooming, I think mine has gone to Flower Heaven, so I planted some new ones just over a week ago. I think it was too late to see them bloom this year, but next year for sure.

      pete, shall I tell you to p*ss off ????? xx

      It has been blue for the last two years and this year is pink .... why? Ordinary ... they like damp, dull climates .... :confused:

      The orange Bougie is great, on the new kitchen patio but I've had it for a couple of years and it's struggling ... but surviving. :thumb:

      Jacaandas are late here this year .... but I'm not complaining and I'll be taking a few pics this month. :)

      Callistemon 'Mauve Mist'
      It is pink, the 'mauve' refers to the coppery juvenile foliage when seen on masse supposedly looks mauve.:confused:

      How many different colours of bottle brush are you growing strongy?

      LOL, get some aluminium sulphate for the hydrangea.
