California Poppies

Last fall we installed a new landscape out at the coast ( northern cal) to fill in between the young plants I sowed a mix of poppies - 75 % california and 25 % red .
This photo was taken the first week in June and I've learned some good lessons.
A little seed goes a long way ! We have had to hand pull a lot of poppies because they were shading out the succulents and some of the smaller shrubs such as rosemary and ornamental grasses.
Some of the rosemary actually started to rot from lack of light.
A 1/2 pound of seed was broadcasted over a 1/4 of an acre. I could have used half that amount.
