I was told that it is very rare and very hard to grow. I couldn't find the bragging forum so I'm starting one right here. Last year I killed off two. There was one left. I moved it to a different location. The thing was a monster within a short time. Well, maybe not a monster but it grew to at least two feet. I didn't take a photo as my tenant downstairs did. When I get her to send me a copy of the photo I will show you. In the meantime http://www.flickr.com/photos/momma_you1/3613584770/ That will show you what it looked like. I am telling you it was beyond belief. The petals were such a vivid skyblue. I made neighbours and friends come look at it. I can't get over the joy it brought me. Seemed far too short lived though. Is there any way to make this poppy last longer?
