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.

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

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
