| Double Red Poppies |
Double poppy...seeds are sown on top of soil in late Fall...seedlings begin appearing in February. Double poppy blooms usually last two or three days...single poppy usually last only one day. Leave seed pods on until they are completely dry, then harvest and store in a dry place to be sown next year. We refer to our Poppies as "Pepper Shaker Poppies"...if you turn the pod upside down they spill out just like a black pepper shaker.
We also have other wildflowers in the garden such as the blue Larkspur, tall bushy Candytuft and the lovely Queen Anne's Lace. This Queen Anne's Lace is not the kind that is wild but is a more hybridized type. The blooms are about four inches across and is very pretty in bouquets.
