Missing----

I have one little area in a bed--right next to my AC unit-- that I planted some orange
CA Poppies several years ago. They grew--and I got all excited....

--Then they spread a little--and I was not all that excited any more...
--Then I (think??) I decided I did not want them there--and dug it up and took it to a Plant Swap.
Yay!!! No more Poppies! Oh, you think????
--Every year since then--they are still coming up. Not many--just 2 or 3 stems.
I remember reading somewhere that Poppies cannot, completely, be dug up. Like dandelions....
You leave a bit of the root--and it will come up again and continue growing....

I think i will just let them "bloom where they are planted"......:o)

I do not get too many blooms either--just a couple. I do collect the seeds though.

Sometimes--you just cannot win! Gita
