Re:opium poppies

 Beg some seeds from a gardener friend with healthy plants.
Thompson and Morgan also sell the seeds.  Most American catalogs use a
different botanic name but can be found without too much trouble.

Actually, Claire, I don't believe T&M sells them to US customers any longer. In their current catalog, they list all P. somniferum varies as "Not Available".

I've noticed that all the photos you see of the Opium Poppy fields seem to show a red flower with a definite white center, much like the cultivar 'Danish Flag'. Even in the drug trade, I would imagine there would be some selection towards cultivars with more "desirable" attributes.
