Shoulder to shoulder

A few weeks a go I tried a new poppy called Papaver dubium subsp lecoqii var albiflorum (what a mouth full).  Also commonly known (thank goodness) as 'Beth's Poppy.' A delightful blush pink flower should have a few admirers.  I would have had an earlier display if sown last autumn but I'm sure a later display is still feasible from an early spring sowing.

Poppies, apparently, dislike root disturbance but if you prick them out at a very early stage you shouldn't encounter any problems. These were pricked out a couple of weeks a go and will soon be placed in their location.  Nothing rigid - just a casual threading through parts of the border.   Hopefully, they may self seed thereafter and provide a relaxed coittage garden feel.
