California Poppy in Ohio?

 Yep. My grandson was messing around last year with his indoor greenhouse. He planted lots of different seeds just to see what he could grow.

My wife was from California and one of her favorite flowers was the California Poppy. 

Of course.

We never tried to grow any because we just didn't think we could in this weather. Turns out we were wrong. Unfortunately, she didn't live to see it, but I plan to attempt to grow some this summer, now that we know I can.

I put it in this pot and had it outside in front of my new butterfly garden. The plan this year is to extend the garden and have a number of the poppy's in it.
