Hi, Patti:
Oddly enough, I found them in Jung's! And it's the only place I've seen
carrying them. I mean, I get all these catalogs, from all over the world,
from the most exclusive nurserys you can imagine, and Jung's is the only
one that carries purple poppies.
Go figure. I can't even find seed for the things. And since seeing one
pictured in Horticulter magazine I've been searching.
Anyway, I've ordered 'Lilac Girl' (described and pictured as "purple") and
'Raspberry Queen' ("raspberry pink"). I also "had" to get one called
'Springtime', which is white with a true pink border.
For the record, I have orderd a few odd's and end's from Jung's before, and
was happy with what I got. At least it's not Michigan Bulb.
Keith, zone 5, WNY
