(A/B) to 3′. Armenian Poppy. An uncommon poppy from eastern Turkey. Foliage is grey-green, glabrous, and wonderfully filigreed. From the many pendulous, pale green buds with bristly outgrowths, emerge papery, four-petalled, pale apricot-orange blooms on wiry stems. In the centre, numerous, slender stamens surround an orb-shaped pistil with a prominent purple, seven-lobed, flattened stigma. The orb-shaped pistil develops into an attractive “pepper-pot” fruit capsule. Flowers midsummer in the second year. Sun. 4 & T2, cover and keep dark
