Until I just googled it I didn’t know papaver was poppy. It seem to be very similar to the poppy seeds I’ve just sent into the seed circle.

My Door 10 hides Allium carinatum ssp pulchellum.

Today's Latin lesson :-

Allium carinatum subsp. pulchellum, also known as keeled garlic or witch's garlic, is a fantastic Allium. It looks like it is from outer space and manages to keep some of its colour when it dries out. Allium carinatum is considered native to the Mediterranean Region from Spain to Turkey, north to Sweden and the Baltic Republics. It is naturalized in the British Isles. The epithet carinatum comes from the latin carinos meaning to supply with a keel or shell. And the subspecies comes from the latin pulchellus for "beautiful"!

Witches garlic!!! Wait for Spec to see this.

Wow that’s stunning. Adding that to my new garden wish list right now.

By coincidence, the Edimentals man has just blogged about them https://www.edimentals.com/blog/?p=27041...Fpg6fp9pCs

Behind door number 11 is godetia grandiflora “azalea flower mix” pink & white

Behind door No.10 I found some fescue glauca blue which was a real treat as I thought they were all finished.

Behind No. 11 this afternoon I found some agapanthus seeds; no idea if they are blue or white (I have both) or what conditions they like, although it probably isn't torrential rain and cold wet clay 

Door 11 concealed Sida Hermaphrodita / Virgina mallow https://www.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_117...maphrodita
It may not be a climber but it grows to 13'!! Loved by bees and may make good food for Mr Greedy.

Door 12 conceals Windowsill Chives "Grolau". https://dev.chilternseeds.co.uk/item_138...ill_grolau

There's not much room on the windowsills but I expect I'll squeeze these in somewhere.
