Are poppies in bloom at your house? I have a Coral Reef poppy that looks like it may not bloom this year. The plant looks healthy enough, but Iโm not finding flower buds/pods. When looking through photos, I found that it was blooming on 6/9 in 2019.

I have a salmon Princess Louise oriental poppy that has peaked blooming. Just a couple of flowers left.
My California poppies are in full bloom and have been for weeks.

Last fall direct sowed some American Legion Red poppies from Botanical Interests and Mother of Pearl poppies from Baker Creek and they're both starting to bloom. The Mother of Pearl were new ones I am trying this year, they are supposed to be a 'water color' type poppy with a blend of softer colors. Poppies usually don't last too long and with our windy conditions, the red ones really lose their petals fast. ![](https://i.ibb.co/yRXmPfr/Poppy-Flanders-Red-6-10-2022.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/p4G1cFR/Poppy-Mother-of-Pearl-6-13-2022.jpg)

My Coral Reef poppy bloomed this Spring, but I donโt recall it previously dying back so quickly after bloom. It had the โdead and dyingโ look no longer than a week after bloom.
And, normally, after a period of rest it would sprout new leaves . There was never a second period of bloom and the leaves would be small, but that didnโt happen this year.
Has Death occurred? Are they short lived? I have pics of it in 2019, so itโs at least 4 years old and probably older. I grew it from seed.
So, wait until Spring, giving it a chance for comeback, or use that spot for my new lavender? Dig it up and have a look see of the roots?

They aren't short lived here. My salmon Princess Louise is around 18 years old . And the white one (don't remember the name) is at least 14 years old. The salmon one did the same thing this year- an early die back after bloom and no new leaf growth later in the season. I'm acting as if it will come back next spring.

desertwoman, I find it strange that both of our poppies behaved in similar manner this year, even though we are growing miles away. I researched your varietyโฆour two varieties may be cousins. Yours is pretty too. Love that peachy pink color.
