Grape Poppies at Last!

I tried to grow Lauren's Grape poppies unsuccessfully several times last year. This year I finally have 3 plants going strong and two just bloomed yesterday! Sorry, just can't wait for Bloom Day this month...





The plants are much taller and wider than I expected from the packet info. The blossoms are also larger than I'd hoped and a perfect red wine color! The pics don't do them justice, they are much more purple in person. Even Photoshop couldn't help me show the proper coloring *sigh*. Very happy again today :)
