This is a multi-headed classic red cross papaver somniferum (opium poppy). It stands roughly 5ft tall and had 20 odd heads growing from a single plant!

@ryanuk1981 The classic British Opium you see in this video no longer exists in my garden. Since, it got crossed with China White!

so...why are you growing opium plants in your backyard?

[boriddlin]

@UBER069 Hey UBER069:

These poppies grow naturally in my back garden. The seeds just happened to become planted in the greenhouse! This year there are double the amount in the greenhouse and even more in the surrounding area.

Hey whats up I was curious is that particular type of poppy that you have growing the one with the red flower pedals and the black blotches,is that poppy called Papaver Commutatum and another name for it is lady bird poppies,I bought some seeds from one of the big commercial hardware stores here in the states and the packet I bought has an image of a red poppy with black blotches in the middle so I was just wondering if that was the lady bird poppie,this type of poppy also grows lots of buds.

Hi Ned,

This type of poppy is called Papaver Somniferum 'Classic British Opium Poppy'.

They grow wild around the UK - and they come in white, purple, and red varieties.

@UBER069 there legal to grow its no trouble...they grow in my garden i even broke the law once and collect the opium and smoked it...made me sick as a dog

Try Tumbleweed It kills the root system. hence the plant dies. I have wild poppies growing in my back garden. The ones you find in the fields and hedge rows. Only about 2 feet tall but lovely in the summer. They automatically seed their selves every year which is really nice as it was a shock to see them this year.. They're the ones that they use on poppy day. Pretty red flower

What is the kind of poppy that produces opium? I know the scientific name is Papaver somniferum. But what is the common name? I have heard that it is the Oriental Poppy but someone else said that the Oriental does NOT produce opium. Thanks in advance.

@boriddlin

the heads look quite small.

I got somniferums and the heads grow about 3" to 4" and have about 6 heads and grow about 4 foot tall.

what type do u think they are?

yours look light deprived, thin stalks.

they generally cut poppies and bleed, pharmaceutical companies, use dried seed pods boiled in acid often from thebain only bracteatums and they use plant and roots-poppy straw.

tolerance develops quickly ish but addiction takes several months.
