California Poppy Wildflower Seed Balls

Homegrown Sunshine California Poppies are a bumble bee's bouncy-house. Watch with delight as these fumbly bumbly bees dive bomb the poppies, do repeated somersaults and buzz off to the next one. *** Each California Poppy Wildflower (Eschscholzia californica) seed ball contains 20-45 california poppy seeds.
