Hoping for next year's poppies

I started my seed sorting this morning.  I brought in hollyhocks, cone flower, snow peas, and poppy seeds pods.  Each week, something new is in bloom.  In late April & early May, the poppies are glorious! So beautiful and proud!  The poppies bloom right before Mother's Day/Haskell Graduation Powwow Weekend.  My mom started these beauties decades ago.  I know the whole family loved seeing them bloom. 

Poppies, May 
This year, I took naps by them as I read homework and enjoyed picnics near them.






Today I collected their seeds and spread some throughout the poppy bed in hopes of next year's batch.


Tiny seeds.  I'd love to have a microscope.
