Oriental Poppy- There are may diferent kinds of poppies, some annuals, but my favorite is the perennial Oriental Poppy. Not a very exciting plant for foliage, kind of furry dandelion looking. What the foliage lacks the flowers make up for. Beautiful almost tissue papery blooms 5-6 inches. They come in pinks, reds, oranges and whites. Some are solid colored, some have a black center, there are even some with variegated blooms. Grow them in sunny locations in ordinary soil that is well-drained in the winter.
I look forward for these poppies to bloom in the spring, sadly their blooms only last about 2 weeks.
