What a shame that your Mother's Day poppy hasn't bloomed yet, I'm sure it's just waiting for the right conditions. Daniel bought me a rose one Mother's Day and that didn't really thrive until the last couple of years, it took it's time to get established.

They are tiny, however, compared to the oriental varieties.<br /><br />I do have a poppy plant that my kids gave me years ago on mothers day - it was planted by our front walkway and has never bloomed, likely because it's too shady there. Every year it comes back and every year I vow to move it to a sunnier spot...and then forget all about it. One of these days I'll remember to move it and then I'll finally get to see what the blooms look like!<br /><br />I'm glad you are feeling at least a bit better - hopefully you'll be back to normal before long.
