I’ve posted some pictures of these before, but they really are my favourite flowers in the garden this summer – California Poppies. There’s a paler yellow colour that I want to try next year too.

Utterly gorgeous … they just reek of summer! Your stunning poppy has arrived promptly last week for my daughter. I will give it to her on her wedding day and then review it properly but I just want you to know that I am thrilled with it 🙂
Beautiful. I love gardening but know almost nothing about flowers…can you buy these or do you have to plant them from seeds?
I’m so please that you’re happy with the bracelet Osyth. Hope the wedding goes well 🙂
You can probably buy them as plants, but I grew these from seed. They’re dead easy. I have some in a border and some in a pot. I just covered the seeds with a little fine soil and kept them watered, and hey presto! I get all my flower seeds from Higgledy Garden in Cornwall, and I can’t recommend him highly enough: http://higgledygarden.com/shop/
Lovely – mine just didn’t grow this year – they got to about 2 inches and stopped. I think it was just too cold a summer for there here in Ireland!
