Thanks Palamino,
Did you get many flowers? What colours were they?

Suttons Seeds reckon there are about 2500 seeds in a packet of their Shirley Poppy seeds, which I reckon is plenty. I'd buy the seeds and have a better idea of what's going to come up. There are a lot of types of poppies.

Lol @ millions. I took 1.5 kilos of seeds off my poppies last year so reckon there must of been millions of seeds Smile

I would just buy some seeds then you can collect your own and not have to buy anymore

Yes they flowered, they were small and white. Bother. Not what i wanted at all. Buy suttons and get reliable flowers, you'll never need to buy another packet.

Sensible people. Ill wait till next year for millions!

Btw not all poppy seeds are edible apparently so check before you eat your own harvest.
