Title: Poppy Danish Flag
Post by: Digeroo on July 29, 2013, 17:14:06
For many many years I had these in the garden, they just popped up, in fact mine were three colours with a blue tinge between the red and white.  But they have suddenly stopped.

Does anyone have Danish Flag please.

Regards

I bet you still have plenty of seeds in your garden..they are just waiting to get right conditions for germination. Poppy seeds can be dormant in soil for YEEEEARS. Have 'disturbed' the soil much to bring the seeds into surface again? If you have practiced much mulching in your garden too, poppies don't care that...

I had hoped they would suddenly pop up.  They normally just appeared amongst the carrots.  But is it several years since I had one.   

Perhaps I should have a good dig in the spring.  They are gorgeous in red and white, but even better in red white and blue.

I was sure I had some seed heads, but I think my oh got bossy and threw them out.
