Hi Pomme8916, there are many types of wild poppy dependant on which part of the world you are thinking of. Here in the U.K. the common type is Papaver Rhoeas. These are normally an orange/red color, however these have been selected over a number of years and other colors have become available. Chiltern Seeds have a strain called 'Mother Of Pearl' that contains 'grey-blues and blue greys' amongst other colors. Contact details, email: info@chilternseeds.co.uk website: www.chilternseeds.co.uk Chilternseeds do despatch internationally.

I don't think Ebb Tide or Rhapsody in Blue work in a vase. Ebb Tide blooms in sprays and has a vase life of less than a day for me. Rhapsody in Blue also blooms in sprays and only lasts about a day or two on the bush. I haven't managed to cut one yet as mine hasn't bloomed much. Instead I'll recommend The Prince. It is darker than WS2K and lasts a couple of days in a vase. I'm also trying Fragrant Plum which is a very nice lavender but I bought it in the summer and it hasn't bloomed very much yet. I'm getting Blackberry Nip from Wisconsin roses next year which looks like it should be a very good cut flower. Beth has some pictures on the gallery of it.

If you found it growing in either, Autauga, Chilton or Elmore Counties, then I wouldn't be overly surprised. There are some rare plants found in that triangle, that are found nowhere else on Earth. Don't know if Psilotum nudum has been documented north of the Gulf Coast counties of AL, but has been found in the Monroe, LA area and into Southern AR. You might contact Steve Ginzbarg, Collections Manager, at the U. of Ala. Herbarium and inquire if they have records and specimens from the area where your discovery is located. His email is: sginzbar@ua.edu, Phone: (205) 348-1829 Who knows, your find may be an entirely new and undescribed species, ssp. or var.!

Brandon, I am not sure if you've had any takers yet... One of my unusual seed offerings is Manfreda virginca, one of those weird, uncommon natives.
