I tried these, they are gorgeous, but only a few came up, so it was a total bust. They only grew where it was plowed on level ground and didn't mind the mixed in plowed up grass at all, but then I guess that's poppies for you. They didn't grow at all where I plowed on a slope, though other wildflowers did just fine. Its funny how they close at night, then open again. For my orange flowers I'm going to try planting Sulfur Cosmos instead, since it blooms after all other wildflowers have died.
