    Customer photo review of California Poppy Seeds - White Linen

    Germinated fairly quick compared to others I’ve planted, plants are full of beautiful blooms, noticed this week I keep getting a random yellow/orange bloom, I’m hoping they don’t all end up turning that color as I planted them in a bed planned out for white blooms.
