HemNorth (Castlegar, B. C. Canada - Zone 5b) on Apr 16, 2016 1:02 PM concerning plant:
I've always believed I had purchased Papaver orientale Perry's White, but upon entering my images, I wonder whether that is correct. I see two major differences:
1. There are 14 ridges on top of the seedpods of the database entries, whereas there are only 12 on the top of my entries. Or does this just have to do with the maturity of the plant?
2. The images added by kniphofia and Daylilybaby all have very distinctive rectangular blotches on the inside petals, whereas those of mine appear to be shaped differently, although that could be masked by overlapping petals.
If anyone can match an identity for a different White Oriental Poppy that mine might be, please let me know. Thank you.
