The clump of poppies I was wondering about - something very interesting...
One of the plants has variegated foliage!
No kidding!
Dark, deep green down the center vein (nice, normal poppy leaf color) fading to a lighter green, to lime green and finally to a nice, bright white on the edges. Not transparency-ish, but a deep, snow white.
One plant out of the whole clump - very cool!
And I know it isn't diseased or sick.
It really does remind me of the coloring on a variegated hosta.
If the leaves were obviously not poppy, I would swear that's what it is!
I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for the bloom color.
Plants amaze me...

I have heard of poppies with variegated foliage but never seen any. As you say it'll be interesting to see what the flowers are like.
Happy gardening! xx
Variegated foliage on a poppy sounds interesting you'll have to collect seed and see it if comes true.
Hiya, Flighty!
Really?
I'd never heard of such a thing. Interesting! I can't wait until this sucker blooms.
:)
Watch it turn out to be some aweful putrid color. lol.
Hey there, Carolyn,
thanks for dropping by!
My daughter is suppose to stop by today, so hopefully I can get her to take a pic with her cell. The leaves are so cool! I'll definitely be saving seed - if it lives that long. I've got my fingers crossed!
