Insha Allah everything i able to harvest will make it to seedbank.
Seed source was an agriculture store in Mardan.
Iceland poppy is low growing plant, its about 8 inches wide as yet, maybe because at the moment its not getting full sun.

beautiful colour and flower, never seen something like this before, I was thinking the source must be from abroad but pleased to know its local.
