I just had to get some pictures of the Hungarian Blue poppies today!
This is the picture from Baker Creek showing what this variety looks like.
This group of photos is what we actually got.
We have different shades of pink, some are almost white, and today, a very tiny, brilliant red one showed up!
My guess is that part of the reason for the colour variations is soil quality and nutrients. That last red one, though… that actually looks like a different variety, which means it could be some seeds got mixed up a bit.
I should make a point of marking that specific plant, so that when the pod is fully mature and dry, I will save the seeds separately from the others, so that next year I can sow them and see if we get more bright red ones like this.
