    I have many different poppies in my garden, and I kinda give them the freedom of the place, but this week I found this one which looks like a cross between the wild field poppies that proliferate and a double one that came from a neighbour's patch.  Anyway, I haven't seen one like this before and am hoping someone can identify it for me, please.  It is the size and colour of the wild ones, but has this lovely flouncy layering, not as blousy as the full double pink or red ones.

     

    I've only the one plant, so I think it will be worth saving the seed from this one.

    One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth.

     It does look just like a double form of the wild one. There's no guarantee that the seed will produce identical plants, but it's worth saving some to see what you get.

    Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.
