Yellow poppies seeding

Who likes and dislikes them .

To me they are a nusisance like weeds in gardens I try to keep them out of my garden.

One of gardens I look after adores them and they keep self seeding.

Be interested to hear your thoughts.

 

i share your view, I class them the same as forgetmeknots and nigela.

 

I love poppies,:D all colours, just wish they lasted longer:( 02

 

How can anyone not like the Welsh poppy?:p

 

Sorry David up here in Scotland they are self seeding weeds yes pretty if contained in a pot .

I prefer the blue poppy Meconopsis just love these

 

Aaargh.... Nigella a weed? (faints)

The only things I qualify as weeds are those that on top of being unwanted are also difficult to eradicate. Nigella,for example,while growing in all sorts of places where it was never meant to go, comes up with a pull, and not a problem. Therefore no weed for me. I grow it lovingly, savingmy own seeds.

In Italy I never saw a meconopsis in my life. If I came across one I would probably pot it in a rare Ming vase and shut it in a greenhouse watched day and night by fierce dogs. May be in CHina they grow dandelions in guarded greenhouses.

Familiarity can make a weed of anything I guess. But still, nigella!

 

How can anyone class Baby`s Breath as a weed?:confused:

 

Here are my poppies and I just love them all weeds or not.What I don't want I just weed out and those I want to keep I leave.I am in the process of collecting and drying off the seeds of the yellow and orange ones ready to send out to people who want them.

Love in a mist is also lovely and I like Meconopsis but can't grow them down here as I havn't got the right conditions for them:rolleyes:

The Orange poppies are not so common here and very pretty bu tthese yellow ones are just a pest complete nuicince in the garden.

 

Its all about the right plant in the right place, Nigela can be quite intresting in a cottadge garden as a gap filler but were you dont want it your hoeing the damn stuff forever...

 

Dai, I'm sure the Springboks love the Welsh Poppy:rolleyes:
Sort of wilts in the heat:D

 

Do you know I saw the Welsh poppies potted up for sale in our local garden centre at quite a price ! I personally love them so trouble free and smiley...got any seeds then?

 

Oh dear I really like poppies I was gonna to offer up some seeds of mine below.I have only the one plant at the moment but I think it looks quite cute where it is beside the drive gates.Hel.xxx.

 

I quite like Nigella, she's very good in the kitchen.

I'm no help on this one, as I considered them a bonus in my garden...sorry.

They attract bees, take up very little soil and are beautiful to look at.

 

Funnily enough, I live in Wales and haven't any in my garden...so when you've got some seeds, please add me to the list.:thumb:
