Do You Really Recognize a Poppy?

The species Canbya contains the pygmy poppies, a desert species native to the Americas is a plant that I would like to grow just because it grows in deserts. I wonder where I could get some seeds? It was while reading about these two inches tall poppies that I realized that information on the hardiness of each species is missing from this book. Since geographical information is given, a determined gardener can research the necessary information. I suspect many of us will just pass up plants rather than take the time to do the research. Perhaps in the next edition, an appendix could be added with this information?

This book makes me wonder why we don't have a plant society dedicated to the study of the poppy family. We have one for dahlias, gladiolas, daffodils, cyclamen, and many other plant genera. Perhaps this book will cause someone to start such a society.

Until next time, good gardening to you!
