Patty is still being coy, but this one has now bloomed. It was an anonymous one from B&Q three years ago.

On my farm walk next week will have to take a photo of a graden I pass - they have a long row of orange orential poppies - they're stunning (your poppy is too of course).

Would they grow from a cutting - thought about asking the owners for a little cutting if I thought it would work.
