Finally got around to planting the California Poppy seeds that I got from the San Diego Zoo when I visited during their annual Garden Fest…uh…festivities.
I had to wet a cotton ball and drop it into a clear plastic bag. Then the zoo horticulturist scooped up a few seeds and dropped them into the bag. She told me to wait until they started to germinate before planting them.
After a few days some of the seeds sprouted tiny stalks. I hope I didn’t wait too long to plant them because if they survive and grow, these should attract even more butterflies to the garden.
