Somniferum Poppy Seeds!!
Red Poppies are a Dominant Color, so if you’re growing other Poppies in your Garden, and you allow Cross-Pollination. Eventually, you’ll end up with only Reds, unless you prevent Crossing which is explained in the Tutorial.
COOL FACT:
The Latin Meaning behind the ‘SOMNIferum Poppy’ is: ‘SLEEPYflower‘.
Which might explain why Dorothy Fell Asleep in the Poppy Field.
The powers of the poppy have been known since at least 3400 B.C., when the Sumerians called it ‘Hul Gil’, the ‘flower of joy.’ It has also been variously called the Sacred Anchor Of Life, Milk Of Paradise, the Hand Of God, and Destroyer Of Grief.
Troy –
I ordered some of these last year from u guys and planted in the Fall.
This was my very first time growing Somniferum Poppies but thanks to the few tips the Admin gave me, not to mention the Step-by-Step Tutorial Page I found at Organical Botanicals Blog on ‘How to Grow Poppies’,
My final results were incredibly amazing! (at least, it was for such a Brown-Thumb like myself – lol)
