The clump of poppies I was wondering about - something very interesting...
One of the plants has variegated foliage!
No kidding!
Dark, deep green down the center vein (nice, normal poppy leaf color) fading to a lighter green, to lime green and finally to a nice, bright white on the edges. Not transparency-ish, but a deep, snow white.
One plant out of the whole clump - very cool!
And I know it isn't diseased or sick.
It really does remind me of the coloring on a variegated hosta.
If the leaves were obviously not poppy, I would swear that's what it is!
I'll have to keep a sharp eye out for the bloom color.
Plants amaze me...

Shhhh, the garden fairy is sleeping under the vegetable leaves.
