My wife has a lot of flower gardens and Poppies are starting to bloom. Her Papaver Poppies are large and spectacular but don't keep their blooms very long.

When you see the large buds start to open, you need to watch the flowers daily.

When the poppy flower blooms it will have a very large, dark center.

The flower petals only last a day or two before they fall off and leave a seed head.
