The deep red that is truly red, no orange in it,
that I have is 'Beauty of Livermoore.' It really
is gorgeous, but ghastly near this purple rose ...
don't know if my evil twin did the planting that
day .. no explanation. Got this at my local
nursery but have also seen in them in mail
order catalogues. The pinks I have are pretty,
but definitely on the salmon side. Keep us
posted on Cedric Morris.

Speaking of oriental poppies, I have had a heck
of a time trying to get a
variety called Cedric Morris, which I
understand is very light (but true)
pink. What I have now is supposed to be one
called Pink Lassie, but it's not
really pink, more of a funny shade of peach.
Does anyone know of a poppy the
color, or close to it, of a Kwanzan cherry tree?
And where I can get one?
When I ordered Pink Lassie the nursery sent 3
deep orange ones by mistake;
when I called and complained, they sent 3 more
plants, one of which turned
out to be this strange fellow (the other 2 were
the deep orange again!). I
KNOW there are pale pink ones (I hope it is
Cedric Morris) 'cause I've seen
pictures in gardening books/magazines of them
and they're beautiful.
Another one I'm after is a deep dark red. I saw
the real thing at
Sissinghurst Farm (next door to
you-know-where) and stupidly decided not to
try to smuggle any of it back home. Does
anyone know where I can get this
one too?
Any other knowledge of interesting pastel or
pink varieties? Is the one
called (or described as ) watermelon a pretty
shade?
Many thanks for any light shed,
Regina Moore
