Poppin Poppies

Quite right GG. The fridge is your best friend. When is the best time to cut them pal ?? eP.
 
Great to see someone having success with the poppies. After several months I too have some small flowers. Looks like white maybe and some kind of purple and the 3rd is a mystery still but I'm excited as all hell cause I must have sowed 50,000 poppy seeds to get these 5 to grow. Can't wait to see if these guys will give up some OPM.

Hello chums,

well I let my opium poppies go full circle and have just gathered up the seeds.

If I said I have a few million, I promise I would not be exaggerating. Here is a picture, and the spoon is not a teaspoon but a big fat tablespoon !

I love P. somniferum poppies, I've collected lots of colors and varieties. I don't really dig opiates myself (give me belly ache and I don't enjoy how they make me feel), but I would be a hypocrite to judge just I prefer other plants. I even grow them just below the arctic circle in my garden. Last year some goof stole all my pods (probably to make tea) and all I wanted was to get more seed to try to bake with. Not a good idea, I only appear to be a regular citizen.
For those that use for medicine tread carefully, this is old powerful medicine with serious potential downsides (legal and addiction). Having said that, no need to support big pharma if you don't want to, right?
 
I must admit, the first time I went to the Stonehenge free festival, I had a huge opium joint. Oh boy it rocked.

However, I grew these for the love of growing. Beautiful plants and flowers.

I am glad I found this thread a fellow AFN'er messaged it to me and a site that looks pretty good. I will be ordering some. I am a chronic pain patient as well.. Outdoor it says to start about February with either chicken shit or cow shit.So I have some time to gather some funds so I can get the 60$ super seed mix that includes the China White... This gives me a funny feeling in my tummy...... :D
