Last ones... #poppy #poppies #excited #montana

Absolutely wonderful 😍

So beautiful Dar 😘😊

Very beautiful . One of my favorites. This is papavar orientale not opium. Opium poppy has smothe grey leaves and is an upright not rosette.@SikoMa

Yes Terry, thank you. I commented on it on my other pic of these @moore.794.

Gorgeous!

Please bare with me, but I'm totally excited about these beauties that I found growing in my jungle of a garden. #poppy #giantpoppy #montana #mountains

They are wonderful.

I think I may have added the wrong encyclopedia link though Judy @ripjuju 🤔🤔🤔

Have these got opium in them or just the name because I thought "they" made them ineffective.

I have absolutely no clue @Sussanah. I've never had these before, and know nothing about them. Maybe @gjones @jeatacake @mrsflowerpot @mikethegardener would know the answer to your question above?🤔🤔🤔

There are loads of them in our garden & I've always known them as Japanese poppies over here. I absolutely love them & ours are flowering like crazy right now 💝👍

Thank you Jeff. There is an Oriental Poppy, so I may have gotten the link wrong😩😬 @jeatacake. These are a first for me😄🤗

I love the flowers and the 📷!

They look like opium poppies to us. The opium is derived from the sap in the pods not the seeds. The seeds are used to make poppy seed cake, loaf, bread etc. My grandma had them for years. When the pods dried my sister and I ( we were kids) thought it was great fun to shake all the seeds out of the dried pods. My grandma of course didn't appreciate it too much. @jeatacake @SikoMa @mrsflowerpot @mikethegardener

What a fab photo 😍

Thank you Janice @lovestogarden 😍

Thank you Katy and Glyn. Could you look at my other recent pics of these, and see if you think they are still labeled correctly @gjones ? Please and thank you😊
My #poppy #giantopiumpoppy is comin along nicely😊🤞🤞🤞
