Good post though. I agree, after an electric disaster, it’s better to look beyond a window with a beautiful cat in the arms. Good post though.

Okay you busted me, I completed pass over the song and dance but if you heard me sing or dance you'd have approved of my passing it over.

That should tell you what I think... They don't tend to go too far in the wild, so you are probably ok with them. As the seeds are so tiny, you might have best results from preparing the flower bed this fall. Mix the seeds with a little sand if you like and broadcast them in the late fall or even on top of snow during winter. They are hardy little buggers and will come up early in the spring before you would think of tilling. After they are established in the first bed the seeds will start making themselves at home here and there in your gardens. Some people hate that, but they are the people who measure between their plants and check tree trunks with a level. I am not that kind of person... ;-) Lexi Well, I have two town lots that are usually pretty full of self seeding Shirley poppies, which were derived from the Flanders red poppies you likely saw in Germany.

My computer is going in for a heart transplant this week, and I have been promised a 50% refund for the $140 I prepaid for unusable hosting. Live and learn. I've been soooo busy. My garden (and Plurk) have been my solace. I have a thing for fuchsias. :) Lexi, I actually have a bunch of seeds for red poppies. They reminded me of the red poppies that were everywhere in Germany. I hesitate to plant them because I'd like them to naturalize, and they aren't anywhere near a local species. On the other hand I'd be replacing invasive non-indigenous brambles, and red poppies would make me happy. Hello world!

I have been immersed in my own version of electronic chaos, busy season from the gallery, and avalanches of family. I came up for air to see what you are doing, and you are as absent as I have been lately! Poppies are good to dance with too...
