Re: Greek Poppies
Hello Annie
We spend much time in the mountains looking at flowers in the spring and
will try to collect you some seed of the poppy you describe. We are by no
means botanists, but feel sure that we see the one you describe. I will make
a note of it, but please remind us in the spring if you still have not
located seed.
regards
