The hens and chicks variety really is a weird fucking variety. When I first saw it I was terminally mind fucked, I couldn't make out where the pod was until I realized that there's one giant pod in the middle surrounded by other little deformed poppy pods. I've never grown hens and chicks, and I am really looking forward to buying that variety seeds and growing them, possibly crossing them with Giganteum to see what sort of flower I'd get.

Hey man, I noticed you're no longer selling your seeds on eBay. What's up with that?? I got kicked off ebay because the chick I had working for me couldn't keep up with all the shipouts and she ruined my account with too many customers leaving low DSR ratings within a 6 month period. So they suspended my account indefinitely. I had over 5,000 feedbacks with a 99.8% positive rating. So now, I only sell through my website which actually is doing quite well. Anyways, write back. Tell me what's up.

@1166925 yes if they are Papaver Somniferum

It is possible to hybridize this variety with the pollen of Papaver orientalis or P. bracteatum. Crossing with P. rhoeas won't work, though. The end result will yield a plant that flowers more like a hollyhock instead of a poppy. Other mutations will be a single flowered variety but with a strange looking crown on a capsule. Take careful notes of what's been crossed and what hasn't. Also, earwigs love to eat the pollen on the pitils of the poppy just as much as the bees like to collect it @ 1:19

3:29 do they contain opium by any chance!

3:29 i have those pod plants in my garden!

Harvesting the actual opium is so easy though,
Cut it, let it "bleed" for then once its dry enough scrape it off.
