They're usually scattered on dry hillsides. But they do pretty well in the garden. That makes sense about the Stylomecon. Thanks for the warning. I bought a single plant last year and collected the seed for this year. They've germinated immediately, but I've already had some casualties. If they fail I'll direct seed mahogany red poppies, pretty similar coloring and effect, though not quite as cool. If you see a lot of mahogany red in my photos next year, you'll know I didn't do well with the stylomecon. I’ve never seen them growing that densely blooming in nature.

Mountain Phlox looks like an awesome addition to the garden. The number of blooms in that picture is amazing. Mountain Phlox looks like an awesome addition to the garden.
