Hi Cohan,
I have'nt grown this plant for a few years now, the flowers really were its best feature, the plant itself had rather drab narrow green leaves on an erect stem. A brief search on the internet tells me it is an artificial hybrid-parents K. bentii X K. flammea. It was easy to grow if you can find a plant, but one that I always forgot about until flowering time!

As the weather is not so nice like yesterday I found some more time to play a little with pictures.

How easily can I become beguiled and misled by an arty shot? It was not until I visited the Flowering Now thread... .......November 2009 (Northern Hemisphere). page 4,

i know what you mean--there are various other hybrids common in the florist trade, nothing special in the foliage; some of the species are nicer, though usually not as floriferous..

Can't remember if I have posted these in the past but, as it is reasonably quiet on the forum at present, it can't hurt to repeat the submission?

I'll forgive you, Cliff!  ;D   Poppy fields to view on a grey day such as we are suffering here are most welcome!
