Is anyone familiar with this plant? I picked one up at the Grand Lake Ace
Hardware nursery in Oakland yesterday. The label said it was a perennial,
native to Turkey, and has 5" orange flowers with green centers. The foliage
is bluish-green with soft prickles. I'd like to hear from anyone who has
grown it to find out what its cultural requirements are. Also, I was
wondering if any of the folks that I sent poppy seeds to have had any
success. This year's plants have already gone to seed in my garden, so there
are plenty for anyone who is interested. Thanks.
