Hah, it's known that poppies don't take transplanting well. But I broke down and risked the chances. There is this kind gardener in my area, he has some established annual poppies that he shared with me in the past. I paid him a visit yesterday, and pleaded with him that I would so love some. He advised me that they don't transplant well. I promised him that if I succeed, I'll take pictures and bring back to show him my success. He gave me these annual poppies which I planted today. The day is a good day to transplant for it's cloudy, and temp. in 60'ish out there. Go figure, last weekend we were expecting snow flurries, this weekend is totally SPRING!
