4 years ago I planted some Iceland poppies (F1 so I know they don't seed true), the plants don't live long but I was happy to let them seed themselves and they have produced various little twists since then but the third one is definitely furthest away from the originals (the original plants which are all dead now came from Amazon and there are  still 6" plus flowers on the self-sowns)

    Wow they're lovely. Always interesting to see what comes up. A bit of an adventure.
    Are you sure you didn't paint the 2nd one ;)
    Is no 3 a weird hybrid? It's strange but has it's own beauty. Shame you can't market them.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
