I've got a bunch of really nice looking flowers in the front of my house - all germ'd and prop'd from seed. I've been doing them in the garden then putting them out front when ready. I've never grown poppies before so this was an experiment, and all the poppies basically flowered at very different times so they never made it out the front and pretty much died individually in the pot.
I've been left with a load of poppy heads, which I've cut off - do these things contain opium? Not sure if these are papaver somniferum - can anyone else tell?
NB: I didn't grow the poppies to make opium out of! They were meant to offset my petunias!! :)
But...seeing as I have a bunch of dead heads (!) is there a buzz I can cop?? Tea? :)
Also, check out my giant sunflowers - I haven't got stakes big enough for them, and one is growing sideways on the table. The slugs at the top of one of them and I've got multiple heads coming off it....didn't think you could top a sunflower!!
