This book is the first dedicated exclusively to poppies, beloved plants in gardens. It covers not only true poppies, Papaver, but also all members of the poppy family, including horned poppies (Glaucium), tree poppies (Dendromecon), Californian poppies (Eschscholzia), desert poppies (Arctomecon), prickly poppies (Argemone), pygmy poppies (Canbya), plumed poppies (Macleaya), blue poppies (Meconopsis), long-fruited poppies (Roemeria), and more. The author focuses on species and forms in cultivation, as well as notable species that are not yet cultivated but deserve attention for their botanical and horticultural merits. General chapters discuss the poppy family, cultivation, classification, and include a key to genera. Individual genera are addressed separately, organized by subfamilies, with specific cultural requirements outlined. Species within each genus are listed in strict alphabetical order for ease of reference, and important synonyms are provided to prevent confusion. Botanical authorities are cited for all recognized species and synonyms. This richly illustrated work is a valuable resource for dedicated gardeners and horticulturalists seeking practical and botanical insights.
