dressed in a ballerina tutu of poppy, said Princess Haiku, the dream


I love the otherworldly beauty of poppies, said Princess Haiku and have ordered a few packets from the poppy shop. They require very little attention compared to other rare flowers and decided to give them a try.



I have tried to germinate blue poppies in the past unsuccessfully and found this helpful information which is encouraging me to try again.




Poppy Dreams are made of angel wings.

Goodness, just realized today that I haven't been here for ages.

Beautiful poppies. Never heard of the Blue Himalayan Poppy before but also never heard of the Goji berry from there until a couple of years ago. I suppose with China opening up to the World we will see many new plants we never heard of before :)
