Re: Oriental poppies
Val,
Heronswood Nursery in Kingston Washington has a few unordinary selections:
Double Coral (double tangerine-coral flowers) $8.00
Patty's Plum *my favorite* (purple blackberry color) $15.00
Saffron (very light orange fading to near white at the edges) $10.00
They do mail order, a catalog is $5.00 I think, but money well spent. It's
better than reading a novel if your into unusual plants. Their e-mail is
heronswood@silverlink.net.
Mailing address is Heronswood Nursery LTD
7530 NE 288th St
Kingston, WA 98346
Hope this helps a bit.
