How do you transplant poppies?
My neighbor gave me some seeds from her poppies last fall and I liberally spread them around my gardens. She told me this would be the only way I would be able to grow my own poppies and that they could not be transplanted. I was upset when I noticed them coming up here and there but in the worst places for example, under a bush, practically hugging other plants or in huge clumps so I decided I was going to dig them up and try moving them around since they would not survive anyway. To my surprise they are all doing extremely well and so now they will grow in just the right places I want them to be. I thought this was pretty darn amazing especially since I am not a seasoned gardener. I guess it just goes to show that poppies really can be transplanted and all I did was pluck them out of the soil, poke a hole in another spot and dropped the poppy seedling into it and covered it up. Something else I did might have made a difference I'm not sure but I always water my transplants with Miracle Grow Transplanting feed and it seems to work for me on all my transplants.

Red Poppies symbolize the vast amounts of blood shed by combatants from both sides . The Poppy was also used because of their tendency to grow upon the cemeteries near Flanders and the popularity of the poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae :
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
