Many MANY years ago, I received a plume poppy in a trade with someone in the east. This was done through GardenWeb.com. She warned me it could be invasive, and she begged me not to curse her because of this. Eventually I did poison it because it was taking over the bed where it was growing. That was long ago and it has popped up again after being gone for so long. I really love the plant because of the bicolor foliage, so I might have to start it in an area of the yard where it won't matter.
For anyone interested, you can still swap plants through GardenWEb, either by mail or at one of many plant swaps throughout each state.
I was given an autumn clematis by a friend. Later I read in Southern Living that if you wanted to get even with someone,give them this plant. If you want to keep them as a friend, don't give it to them. I went back to work the next day and told her what I read. we're still friends.

C.C., it is in partial shade (just a few hours sun).
