It is an absolute treasure to admire these stunning and widely adored Orientale Poppy Princess Victoria Louise and, for good reason. With flowers that bloom beyond the regular size of a standard poppy and, apricot-salmon pink petals that invite butterflies and bees, this flower is the perfect addition to any empty sunlit parcel of your garden. Deep purple heart-like blotches line the petals towards the center of the flower and, while it may not produce any smell, the sight is more than enough.
