Transplanted hollyhocks, forget-me-nots, and poppies (Oriental and Flanders' Fields)

Hollyhocks:  x5, front bed against house wall.  They're quite small because there were raised mostly outside.  I'm sure if they had stayed inside under lights they'd be a lot further along.  But, they look healthy even though small.

Forget-me-nots:  x5 front bed, and x2 in yard next to compost bin.  Were definitely getting root-bound.  Hopefully will be happier to be in the ground.

Poppies:  Front-fence bed, mini patch of Oriental x ~8 or so, and one mini patch of Flanders' Fields x ~8 or so, and east-house-wall bed mini patch there too, can't remember which kind.  But it's really easy to tell because FF has deeply lobed leaves whereas Oriental's are pretty smooth-edged.  Winter sowing worked fairly well; they're ~2" high and look like they should do ok.  Trimmed the bleeding heart back a ton to open up the bed.
