I have a couple of seed heads from a poppy growing wild on a vacant plot

Poppies can lie dormant for years and years and years, THEN, disturbance and
hay ho up they pop.

1) The ground ran red with blood which made it look like Poppies
2) The ground was disturbed the Poppies flourished.
Think about it. Which is correct?
