I should have plenty of seeds, Weed-Digga! :) I'll pm you for your address when they're ready.

It's a gorgeous plant - even without the lovely flowers - and, at that size, it's doing a good job of camouflaging that water butt! I'll be scattering seed on any bare patches for next year. ;)

That is stunning - If there are a few spare seeds....... :D

That is one beautiful poppy. I just love them. I cultivate them and Tony gets em up if I'm not looking. I have some danish flag poppies in the allotment flower border where he isn't allowed so they are safe.

You're on the list, darkbrowneggs! :)

;D ;D ;D at Shirl! You keep your eye on that Tone! Those Danish flag poppies are lovely! Poppies are one of my favourite flowers - I have lots of the perennial 'Oriental' ones - (lovely big splashes of colour!) - but the 'chance visitors' are always welcome! :-*

Shirl never heard of Danish flag poppies, my mum is danish and loves all things danish, can you buy commercial seeds which would be fun to put in her christmas stocking.. ;D

Lovely.

I think you can also use the seeds on bread, cakes and bagels etc.

I normally have Danish Flags coming up as weeds but do not seem to have one this year. I shall have to buy a packet and start them off again, I think they have been self seeding for about 15 years. Poppies are not a difficult weed, you just hoe up the ones you do not want.

Pods are nice in flower arranging, pick before they are totally ripe or pods will open and the seeds will be all over the house. The birds also like the seeds so it is a bit of a balance to leave them long enough to dry but before they are eaten.

PS I also love watching the bees swimming about in the flowers. They seem to be in ecstasy.

I cannot remember where I got them cos I have been saving my own seed for ages. Problem with that is that some of them are variants. I will be saving some more seed this year so if you cannot get them then I will let you have some of mine.
