Mike and Paula's Poppies


These are Mike and Paula's Poppies. They hosted one of the Garden Tour meetings and gave everyone poppy pods. Said wait until the pods dry and scatter. I scattered all in this pot and covered lightly with potting soil. Look at this - my first ever poppies. Last meeting Mike walked in with poppy pods. It's been so wet, they are still on my bar, but you can bet they will be spread in some spot I think might get enough sunlight. Nothing I love better than "given" plants. I'll get you a picture of Barb's Japanese Maple. Finally let it go out of the house from the pot to the real world. It was a bit root bound and I was very scared, but it's doing fine. Again, nothing like a "given" from friends.
