Pam, at one point in time we lived just NW of Tally & I worked for a landscaper as a secretary. One of the gals who was a landscape planner & life long resident of the area as well as having a degree in horticulture said poppies just won't do --- STILL not cold enough for them. She was a member in the local garden club & always did the flowers for the courthouse. She did poppies sometimes but always they were blooming size bulbs & they were treated as annuals. She said she even tried putting them in the freezer but they would never go over the one season & be capable of planting again.
