Sandy--I just had a horrible thought...are you sure those are poppy seedlings and not some weed? Was the soil sterile? I'm asking because a pot of earth that was in the g.h. all winter has suddenly produced seedlings that look just like yours! And they definitely are not poppies (I wish they were).

I've got some poppy seedlings happening and they look quite different--but they are Papavers, and perhaps Meconopsis has those wider seed leaves--does anyone know? Maybe the first set of true leaves will be more revealing
