I grew poppies last year for the first time. I received some small plants from a relative. They grew and bloomed but were not too big. I saved the seeds from the largest plants/flowers and sowed them directly this year. I have plants coming up all over the place. I too have noticed they like to be direct sowed as opposed to in pots. They definately need thinning. Fortunately I have enough coming up that I just yank the ones I want to thin and don't bother with transplanting.

I have three plants already this year that are over 4x larger than my biggest plants last year so I'm super excited to see how large the flower gets. I'm assuming that the larger the plant, the larger the bloom??

Here is a pic of my largest plants. I put my foot in there for perspective.
