@joannakat Thank you! Nature is a mystery. By the way, mice stole the poppies seeds and stored them in my upstairs master bedroom in an unused hamper. I went to use the hamper after years of unuse and found them. Hard to collect those little seeds. I guess I vacuumed them up. I think that is why I only have red ones. It might not make sense. How would mice know which are the seeds for red poppies of any kind and stay away from them?
Its easy for me to believe in miracles when science can't explain why a blade of grass has its shape and that is just one plant and one attribute.
