Free Garden Catalogs

Has anyone worked with Himalayan Blue Poppies?

I just love the look but before I shell out the cash, I want to make sure that I am absolutely going to love them. Pros and Cons please, that would be very helpful. Also, if anyone knows where to get them from; seed catalogs, online, etc. that would also be helpful. I've seen them in Michigan Bulb Co. catalog but I know that that company has some serious problems with their products and doesn't rate very well among gardeners. Thank you for looking!! :)

The flowers can be represented in one of this 3 main colors: blue, yellow and red. However there are some rare ones that come in white. http://www.poppiesinternational.com/articles/himalayan_blue_poppies.html
