    A real beauty that will self seed readily so that you'll have more blooms next year. :-D

    That is a beauty! I had a few volunteers from last year pop up, but mine aren't pink.

    Hey Netty~ How about a seed swap? I'll send you a few light pink for your dark pink :-D Wouldn't that be a pretty combination?

    Deanna that is what we call a Peony Poppy.I have them everywhere here.They have bloomed and dried already here in Texas.If you get the dark pink seeds I would love a few.I think the two together would be wonderful.You broad cast the seeds here in November as they are air propagated.I'm not sure I said it correctly.I hope someone else can explain it better.
