Wrennie's looking for blue poppies, but does anyone have others--besides red--they could share? Once upon a time I had a lovely border of pinks, and currently I've a lone(ly) yellow California one. Next year we're expanding the veggie garden as well as my herb and flower area.

annuals or perennials?

Either. I'm zone 6 (6a). Last year our first serious frost wasn't until 10/26--plus we're on a hill which helps, so I tend to try things when most people are shutting down for the season. This year I'm putting perenials and bis in now (except on days like today when temps are 90°) when I have the time. And I'm just gathering seeds for an early start in Spring 2009.

I have tons of poppy seeds for a coral multi-ruffled poppy. They come up every year without fail. The poppies are drying now and I have seeds to share!

Karen, PM me and we'll work out a deal. I'm going to be posting a trade list soon and maybe something will be on it that you'd like.

I'm new to this-is PM private message? and how would I do this.

Yes. I've been reading general posts on the pros and cons of this, and most say the option hasn't been activated. But that was a year ago... If you check my profile [green bar: Go>MemberDirectory>Alpha...> I'm currently on page 63 -- if they have a member search button I haven't found it] you may or may not be able to see my addy once I add you to my Buddy List. I think that was the purpose of the list. I can't check it...

ANYWAY, if you can get it that way fine. Otherwise I'll have to post one; probably create a disposable addy because spammers inevitably get it . Filters only do so much...

I have added you to my buddy list-I still can't PM you yet.

Hi,
I only last year grew some flanders poppies in my veggie garden ,and they were gorgeous. So I started wondering if I could grow poppies for seed- I remember seeing "breadbox" poppies in a seed catalog once a long time ago. Can you get seeds for baking with from any poppy? A little google searching turned up an odd fact (if it's true) that if you plant the poppyseed from your spicerack you are committing a felony- that culinary poppyseed is imported (and legal) because it comes from the opium poppy, and that possession of the live plants is illegal (those who defy the law get beautiful flowers in a wide variety of colors). So what's an organic gardener/amateur bread baker to do?

hey karen got the poppy seeds today
will plant and everytime i see them will think of you god bless you jude

I would love any & all colors of poppy seeds.

I've seen bread poppy seeds in seed catalogs, so they may not be illegal.
