I'm so glad you have this picture posted. I had no idea what I had. I love this poppy. It lasts for a couple of days or more. Beautiful.

Over the past 9 years since clearing the garden we've selected for this strain. We're now at the point where we get 98% fully double, red (this particular colour) flowers from our collected seed. Unfortunately it means we can't grow any other colours now but that helps in giving us space to grow other plants instead :)
