Very lovely poppy. It does goat my goat a bit that they sell these foreign non-natives giving the impression that they're natives though. I wonder what benefit it really has compared what the average Joe would grow in their garden anyway. I'm not against the mixes per se but I think they shouldn't market them as 'wildflower' etc. They should be honest and give the consumer the choice. Anyway, a lovely poppy even if not native and a keeper.

had loads of bees, had to rescue a few that were exhausted by putting a little stick with some honey on the end
Did you get many honey bees, I was very short of those

That blue one with the bee in it is phacelia which is good for green manure which you dig into the earth. The flowers last a long time in a vase too.
think there was a few honey bees
