They're fantastic manics, gorgeous!  I had some of a similar colour appeared in my garden and over a couple of years they just took over so I pulled them all, and then regretted it!  I did save some seed and you've inspired me to get them going again next year.

bit disappointed with the white one, looks a bit mucky, may have put the dark one on already, never mind  ;D

The 'white' one is very pretty - looks like raspberry ripple!

They are spectacular, Manics. Is this a named seed mix or your own seeds?

[shirlton]

it's a 6 year old pack of eric's..supposed to be a white with a blue centre, called christmas cracker..not a one  ;D

[Rosa_Mundi]

Absolutely  ;D
Shirlton, Angels' Choir are generally more pastel-coloured, often semi-doubles with coloured edges.

I can't wait for them to come out. I have had to sow them in trays and then transplant cos our allotment site looks more like flanders every day so you never know what sort of poppy is comin out
