Papaver commutatum 'Ladybird' Ladybird Poppy / Caucasian Scarlet Poppy 'Ladybird'

Vibrant scarlet cup-shaped flowers with huge contrasting black blotches at the petal bases — the colour and pattern of an enormous ladybird (and the source of the variety's common name) — held on bushy hardy annual plants that bees absolutely adore. RHS Award of Garden Merit winner.

If 'Flanders Red' is the classic delicate field poppy, 'Ladybird' is the bolder more dramatic relative. This variety produces vibrant pure-scarlet cup-shaped flowers, but each petal carries a huge contrasting black blotch at its base — the four blotches together creating a dramatic central "cross" or "ladybird-pattern" of black against the saturated red. The effect is genuinely striking and unmistakable. The plants are bushier and more compact than typical Field Poppies (reaching 45–50cm) but produce the same delicate tissue-paper silky petals on slender stems. Holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit — recognition reserved for plants of consistently outstanding garden performance. RHS Plants for Pollinators — the open accessible cup form combined with the dark high-protein pollen makes 'Ladybird' exceptional for bee support. Hardy annual.

A note on growing

Like all poppies, has a sensitive taproot and must be direct-sown where it is to flower. Direct sow outdoors in March–May for summer blooms, or September–October for stronger autumn-sown plants the following year.

Rake soil to fine tilth, scatter seeds thinly on the surface — do not cover (seeds need light to germinate). Press firmly into soil. Germination 14–21 days. Full sun, well-drained soil. Do not feed. Thin seedlings to 20–25cm apart for the best flowering.

Where it shines

In cottage borders for the dramatic scarlet-and-black combination — 'Ladybird' is properly eye-catching in a way that few other annual poppies can match. In wildlife gardens for the high pollinator value combined with the bold colour signal. In children's gardens where the "ladybird-pattern" markings genuinely capture children's imaginations. In cutting from the cottage garden (with the same proper handling all poppies need — cut in early bud and sear stem ends immediately).

Plant alongside

For complementary colour drama, pair 'Ladybird' with the lime-green of Bupleurum 'Griffithii' — the green and scarlet creates designer cottage contrast. For traditional wildflower meadow combinations, plant with Cornflower 'Blue Ball' and Corncockle for the classic British cornfield mix. With Poppy 'Flanders Red' for layered scarlet poppy display at slightly different heights.

A penetrating discussion of important books by Black authors.
Format: Kindle
Atcho’s choice of texts is smart: each has survived many decades in print, fascinates modern readers, and probes profound and current themes. Most are well known. Each one is worth your while to read or reread. Fiction, in particular, makes the Black experience in our country accessible to others. Living inside the head of Bigger Thomas (Native Son) offers a more personal understanding than any essay can. The church has always been part of the story, and Atcho does justice to this by examining African-American literature in a theological light. He is sensitive to what each text is saying on a spiritual level, discerning the subtext and bringing it to light. Over and over, as I read his analyses, I had the experience of seeing more clearly what I had only vaguely intuited. The readings he discusses are not one-dimensional or didactic, and I found having a Virgil at my side was invaluable. This book is a gift to us all.

Our church read this book together, and I can't recommend enough that your church do the same!
Format: Paperback
I am so grateful to Claude Atcho for inextricably weaving together a spacious reformed theology with the heights and depths of great African American literature. Thanks to his gracious, nuanced, and substantive guidance, I can no longer separate the two. For example, I will no longer be able to read the Exodus account of liberation without imagining Zora Neale Hurston's "Moses, Man of the Mountain." Where the themes of great African American literature (and indeed, great theology) do not short-cut suffering, death, lament, and evil, Atcho manages to do this heavy lifting in a way that welcomes uninitiated readers like me. Our church read this book together, and I can't recommend enough that your church do the same!

Eye-Opening and Heart-Expanding
Format: Paperback
I am incredibly grateful for this book. It gave me profound insight into essential truths of Christian faith and doctrine by allowing me to see them through a radically different lens than my internal lens. Plus, it opened me up enormously to the experience of black Americans who express the pain and challenge of life in our country thoughtfully and provocatively. I left this reading chastened, desiring more conversation, moved to listen better, and hoping to live differently.

Best book I've read in last 10 years!
Format: Paperback
I'm absolutely blown away. I finished the book this morning. I have been recommending it to anyone and everyone who asks me "So, what you reading?". I'm known for having a book stack a mile high. I ran out of my first yellow highlighter! Profound stuff. The subtitle, How African American Literature Can Make Our Faith More Whole and Just, doesn't do the book justice. It is soooo much more. I highly recommend!
