I wonder if anybody knows where you can find info on the original stuff for an area.<BR/><BR/>I live over here in Orland, in Glenn County and I've wondered for a long time what was here originally. -Before everything was cut down, tore up by cattle, plowed, and then finally "developed." The few poppies I see around now are just the kind you describe. The kind you pick up at Wall-Mart. That is, until I go up into the hills to the west of town.<BR/><BR/>There, with a little luck, I can sometimes find something hiding along side the dirt roads, amongst all the star thistle and non-native annual grasses, that is smaller and has a lite yellow flower.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if this represents what would have been growing lower down in the valley, or something unique to those hills. So, my strategy is to use your "basic" poppy seeds, as something is better than nothing. And when you're starting from scratch, you have to start with "something."<BR/><BR/>I was thinking of collecting some of those seeds, though, and planting them in the back yard just to see what would happen. But they look so hard pressed up there, that I kind of want to just leave them alone. What do you think. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely, joedog.joedoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524533517612822159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491180222722502706.post-42594096560462956472007-07-19T09:58:00.000-07:002007-07-19T09:58:00.000-07:00Happy Birthday!!!!Happy Birthday!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491180222722502706.post-77726445410431565252007-07-19T09:32:00.000-07:002007-07-19T09:32:00.000-07:00HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUDITH!!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JUDITH!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3491180222722502706.post-18001867323482513822007-07-19T00:02:00.000-07:002007-07-19T00:02:00.000-07:00Good stuff, keep it coming!Good stuff, keep it coming!Home Workhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385285345800110273noreply@blogger.com
