Unexpected flowers!
I am both delighted and amazed that this beautiful Poppy Patty’s Plum (Papaver orientale) has just flowered in my garden – it’s October in Ireland! This poppy featured in our Bloom 2009 Gold medal winning garden (see pic. below) and was a real crowd pleaser. But that was early June. It has been quite a mild summer/autumn but pretty dull and overcast so I am not quite sure why this poppy has just flowered. But what a joy, and a beautiful reminder of the of the summer gone by!
