Poppies - Papaver

Favorites of the old-fashioned garden, 

 they have carried their delightful colors into 

 the garden of the present. If the flowers are 

 cut while still in bud, they open and last a 

 long time in water. Remove all faded flowers 

 to prevent them going to seed and thus 

 keeping more flowers from forming. It is best 

 to sow at intervals directly into permanent 

 location, so as to keep up a succession of 

 bloom.
