I threw down some wildflower seeds this spring in the garden and most of the seeds never sprouted, but I had some poppy seeds that did! They are so pretty! I have always loved the red ones but now that I have pink and white I love them just as much.

Sadly our wind gets a little too strong for these delicate flowers and they lose all their petels.

Poppies are pretty. You will have lots of seed you can collect and save.

I love how 'my' poppies just sort of pop up willy-nilly in my Iris patch and my garden..
My all time favorites are the orange "California' poppies... Gee, I wonder why? heeheehee!

I want to have the whole rainbow of poppies now! I think I will be putting some in the front yard this next spring!

Those are really pretty! I'll have to look into them and see if they'll do well here.

We have frilly, ruffled pink poppies! I love them! If you would like some seed heads, let me know. I’m trying to collect them all. They just need to be scattered end of September/early October

Karen, I would love some please! Do you just throw them down like the wildflower seed packets?
