P. somniferum is one of mother nature's most stunning, versatile and beautiful plants. I love the way they hybridise and produce myriad awesome new flower types and colours, I love the enjoyment of the multiple bees visiting the blooms in the early morning. I love when a good strain is correctly planted it will easily reach chest height at bloom time. I love the way farmers in Tasmania selected plants for maximum alkaloid content, then altered them to produce thebaine instead of other alkaloids. I love the taste of a traditional, sweet poppy seed strudel from my local cake shop...
WOW the first night scenes where the plant was moving and growing and dancing, were the best. Loved the whole mood, with the groovy music. Thanks so much for posting this. The poppies looked majestic and mystical as they grew at night. So still once they had produced their seed.

So then I would plug my phone into my laptop which has a ton of available space and transfer the files to that twice a day. The size needed for these thousands of pictures do add up, but once I turn it into a 30 fps video, I end up with a video less than 1 GB per 3 minutes.

Awesome! I should be sowing Papaver somniferum and California poppies seeds within the next month. There are even more plants to grow come spring. I already have almost all the seeds of the different plants I want to grow this year on hand. I'm very excited to resume gardening and my TH-cam channel.
Somehow in my garden couple of poppy plants appeared as weeds - i don't know from where. I will collect some of the seeds for next year. It have white petals with violet dots inside.
What hardiness zone are you in ? I'm in 8a. I plant mine in 5 gallon buckets so that I can move them once they had enough sun. I also do raised beds but they sometimes will overheat bc of the sunlight.
I grew these poppies in zone 10a, moved away to a much more mild climate and am still in zone 10a. If you're interested, Sunset Western Garden labels my previous zone 13 and my current one 24 and I think these zones provide more useful information.
im sad, mine the flower bud fell off early for some reason, so it's a small pink flower, worried it wont grow 100% now, i bought it from wall mart, worried now so its a small flower ( no green casing ) just a flower, closed still and pink, so worried, wanted a pretty flower.
I bought hungarian blue poppy seeds from wall mart. You gotta do your research and know what seeds to get. Papaver somniferum. There are some online vendor that sell them too. Check out little poppy momma on TH-cam she has a link for buying seeds. She has awesome poppys and great reviews.
Looks beautiful! So what's the deal with the opium poppy? Like unprocessed like this and with what it contains, it's a toxin right? to ward off bugs and animals that would eat it otherwise?
I THINK opium has two possible major uses. One, it has something to do with seed production since it is found in the pods of the plant. Two, yes it is supposed to ward of bugs and animals that would otherwise eat them. Opium is bitter, but the seeds are nutritious, so much so that we humans actually bother harvesting, growing, and eating these tiny things.
Where in NZ are ya Jase? Mine are doing well in the Waikato climate. Fl;owering beautifully at the moment. I want to get more varieties for next year, the differing colours of the flowers are truly unique.
I honestly don't know/remember. If it helps, it should take longer than one week. Also, you will know that the seeds are ripe if they make a rattling sound inside the pods when shook. Ideally you would shake the seeds out into a container rather than break open a pod that might still have unripe seeds along with the ripe ones. Of course you would shake the rest of the seeds out as they mature over the next few days.
Sorry. I don't know the exact day I planted, but it was in February. So that would make it about 60 days. This is a bit too short. Some stress probably caused the plants to flower sooner than they should have. Some people even sow the seeds in the fall. That's what someone like me with a hotter climate should have done. The poppies would grow slowly in the winter and resume in the spring. So that could make the time to bloom much longer. But they would get a headstart and be better prepared for my more subtropical climate.
They grow on a photoperiod, you can plant em enywhere from late fall to early winter, and they'll begin flowering after the days get to ba around 13 hours long, otherwise I've heard about 90 days
Hey the way the pods started getting those brown spots , were those from you poking it...I grew the same one last year of you message me I'll show you pictures. I think I got too excited and stated slicing too soon cuz I didn't get any off it
I didn't poke these pods. Sometimes they just leak by themselves. Sometimes slicing too deep can be a cause for nothing coming out. Of course, slicing too early is also a possibility. I would love to see pictures. Do you prefer by email?
@@nichegarden would you recommend this as an ingredient in food? I have eaten asian dishes where this was used in small quantity. It certainly invoked a sense of comfort.
@@largepoodle6036 be careful orally dosing raw opium, morphine levels can vary pretty wildly especially when talking about latex from lancing the pods. Get a pipe. Get some tobacco or some low quality cannabis trimmings, mix latex thoroughly. Small hits.
"resurrect (prod. cocótvç)" by kyræhle As of today, you can find the song on TH-cam still or on my Google Drive drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kZynVvNJJ1ZPKs6zSVLghFNEFyQOgdnm
They do contain opiates, however I have never heard of people smoking the leaves. I think any small amount found in there would mostly combust rather than vaporize. Stay safe.
@@nichegarden combust?? Damn. That's not good, a friend is trying to do this with very little knowledge of it and i'm a bit worried. Thank you very much 🙏🏻
Always happy to help inform people on plants. By combust, I don't mean anything particularly dangerous, just that what little is found in the leaves would be chemically altered in an unfavorable way. Opium is heated and the resulting vapor is inhaled. Or the opium can be taken orally. If you're vaguely familiar with "smoking opium", the flame is not actually applied directly to the latex.
I have not used this specific plant, but another one I grew this year. (Should be uploading a video of that one after finals). EDIT I knew that the days that I was photographing the poppy were breezy, but I did not know the wind was so strong that I would not be able to create a smooth time-lapse. I will not be uploading that video. I used almost all of the opium from one plant which was three flowers. The remaining amount came from a small flower that bloomed much later. I did not weigh this amount of opium, but it was a sphere about 5 millimetres in diameter. I took it after dissolving most of it in a cup of hot tea. The amount that did not dissolve may have been some other plant material which I also consumed. I definitely felt some effects. I have never used any prescription painkillers, so my description may be not so good. I have used 7 grams of kratom on a few occasions though. Anyway, I just felt good for several hours, kind of a mild body high. I eventually felt kind of tired, but ever so slightly nauseous and unwilling, but able, to fall asleep. I maintained all major motor functions throughout. Unlike with kratom, I did not feel itchy and was not constipated the day after. The effects of seven grams of kratom were more intense, so there is that. I weigh only about 130 pounds. Please keep in mind, that there is a danger of overdose with opium. Different plants may have differing amounts of morphine, codeine, etc.
@@ПБОДНАР So did you want to know the name of this cultivar or the one I was talking about? This one is called "Tasmanian Purple" from *shelley on ebay. The one I was talking about was Zahir.
Ich habe diese mit Samen angebaut, die ich online von einem anderen Gärtner gekauft habe. Ich kaufte ein paar Sorten. Einige Samen waren blau, einige waren Grau. Aber ich habe gelesen, dass einige Leute Mohn aus dem Supermarkt angebaut haben. Sie müssen nur frisch genug.
I believe that this is supposed to be more potent than poppy seed tea. The ethanol is better at dissolving each of the "main" alkaloids inside the pods than water is. The book titled "The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications" by Christian Rätsch describes a traditional method of preparation as follows, "The fresh, not fully ripened capsules can be made into an opium and rum pot. A container that can be completely sealed is filled to the brim with opium capsules, after which rum is added until all the fruits are covered. To improve the bitter taste and to potentiate the effects, several female inflorescences of Cannabis indica or Cannabis sativa and flowers of Datura metel or another Datura species (Datura spp.) may be added. Seal the container and allow the mixture to sit in a relatively warm location for six months. Then pour off the liquid and vigorously squeeze the opium capsules in a strainer. As little as one shot glass of the liquid will induce clearly perceptible opium effects." The book also goes on to explain the preparation of laudanum. "Laudanum is a tincture that was originally made of opium, saffron (Crocus sativus), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), clove powder (Syzygium aromaticum), and Spanish wine (cf. Vitis vinifera). It was later produced using just opium, saffron, and high-proof alcohol (70% ethanol) (opii tinctura). The pharmaceutically standardized tincture should contain about 1% morphine. The largest single therapeutic dose of opium tincture has been listed as 1.5 g."
Yeah it's unfortunate. The artist had some other nice music that no longer appear on her soundcloud. I know it pops up on TH-cam if you type in the name. But if you are looking for a high quality download, perhaps I could share my copy with you with her permission. Would you like for me to ask her about this?
I'm not sure if the genetics go back far enough to warrant its own strain name, but this was called "Tasmanian Purple" by ebay user *shelley. She has been selling seeds there since 1998 and possibly growing them for much longer.
@@mitchellbailey4906 That's definitely possible, probably even likely. If my memory serves me correctly, (don't quote me on this), *shelley got these from a friend from a trip to some middle eastern country. (Despite the name Tasmanian Purple). Perhaps the friend assumed just because they got the seeds from a foreign country, it meant the genetics were highly coveted.
@@mitchellbailey4906 I did not test the product in any way. I also don't have any more seeds from her. *shelley IS in fact currently selling them though. www.ebay.com/itm/Tasmanian-Somniferum-Poppy-Seeds-2000-Shelley-aka-PoppyQueen/254576775962?hash=item3b45f5531a:g:WbsAAOSwlNpeoJlj These seeds are not referred to as Tasmanian Purple, but she uses the same pictures as the listing that I bought back in 2017.
I would imagine just about anywhere that sells plants and seeds. Make sure to get the right species of poppy. You might even be able to find some in the herbs and spices section of your local grocery store. However, the viability of these seeds intended for consumption will be uncertain.
Yo conseguí somniferums en Amazon, tardaron bastante en llegar, más o menos 6 meses, pero sin problemas algunos. A penas estoy viendo pequeños brotes de mis bebés.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by this, but over some time I have been liking some music on soundcloud. You could check out my likes over here: soundcloud.com/niche-garden/likes Not all the songs are so similar to the one in this video, but you may find something you like.
Immature seeds probably wouldn't sprout or produce undesirable plants. The plant should be allowed to mature its seeds undisturbed until one can hear seeds rattling when the dried pod is gently shook. Some seeds may actually fall out of the holes near the top of the dried pod. That is when the seeds are mature.
@@az09ndu Some of these seeds may have been bred for certain purposes. These include maximizing seed production for consumption, ornamental purposes, and opiate production. They will all contain the opium latex, but the ratios of the different opiates may vary. I value the freedom of information, but please do be careful with this plant.
Hard to say. I pretty much have never had to deal with frost where I lived. I planted mine before winter because my winter temperatures typically didn't go below freezing for more than a few hours. And when winters were over, the temperatures got insanely hot, too hot for poppies. So the idea was to get the poppies to bloom before they burn up in the spring/summer heat. For your climate, you may have the choice between starting before winter and starting after. The hardest part for you will probably be getting the poppies to develop their first true leaves. Once that happens, you should be set. You may want to read up on your exact climate and the climate that poppies thrive in to get an idea of what care you should be giving your poppies.
@@markirish7599 yeh they are coming on great thanks I've got them growing indoors with 2 600w mars LED grow lights in a 200/200/100 grow tent I've got around 60+ at the minute
I've tended to get about 3. I haven't been as successful as I wanted to with this plant, so there may be more than this on average. But the number can vary greatly especially when dealing with varieties specifically bred to have many pods. However, these plants with more pods tend to also have smaller pods. Hope this helps.
Yes it is. You can find these seeds at just about anywhere that sells seeds next to the tomato, basil, thyme etc. Just make sure you get the right species. Papaver somniferum is what you are looking for. Gardening stores also sell Papaver orientale and Papaver rhoeas which are NOT the same. And of course these can be bought from just about every online store selling seeds.
February, though I may have had better luck if I sowed them in late fall. When to sow depends on your climate. People with warmer climates should sow in the late fall and those with cooler climates should sow in early spring. Poppies thrive best in temperatures between 10 - 25 °C.
@@nichegarden thanks for getting back to me. Every video I've seen on TH-cam fails to give general info like what month to sow and temperatures outside of when seeds are sowin an I guess when they bloom. That would help beginners alot. Maybe that could be and idea for your next video explain grow zones and how that changes the times you sow seeds. Would be the best video out there imo. But lack of general knowledge is hurting alot beginners. For example when you say late fall that means? I know that seems like a dumb subject but I think it's where most info is lacking. Grow zones and how that changes what month seeds are sowin would be really great. Anyways wish me luck lol
@@nichegarden I'd say I live in a warmer climate my seedlings are about half inch tall almost a inch I showed them in mid august and it's mid September now. Will I see them bloom in November or December?
You've just addressed one of my biggest pet peeves in gardening. Information is often very vague. You hear things like part sun, part shade, light watering, moderate watering and the list goes on. Anyway, you might have guessed that I got the info, "late fall" from some other source. Sometimes it takes a little experience, knowledge, and intellect to figure out what exactly your plants need. I see you have already planted seeds based on your other comment, but I will give you and anyone else who is patient enough to read what this comment some tips. So Papaver somniferum is a plant that benefits from what's called 'cold stratification'. That is when the seeds are given cold temperatures and moisture before germination. When you live in a cold environment, you would not have to worry so much about this, assuming you plant in early spring like you would with most other seeds. If you live in a hot place, this becomes more important. The cold period may only last three months max and still not even be that cold. And early spring may already be pretty hot. Furthermore, like I said, the poppies will do better in temperatures between 10 - 25 °C. So let's say you plant the seeds in the late fall. I would say to you it does not matter a whole lot what exact day since this cold stratification will last several weeks. If each season lasts three months, late fall is going to be the beginning of the third month of fall. Of course, we don't all live in some paradise where we get to experience the full effect of each season. Still, the beginning of the third month will probably do fine, but for a (maybe) better timing, you may want to consider finding out what period of 4 weeks will the average temperature of your area be above 0 °C and below 10 °C. The number of weeks and temperatures I have just given should be flexible. By this I mean, you may find a period of 4 weeks where the temperature is not quite in the range or a period where the temperature is in the range, but less than 4 weeks. I would say don't worry about that too much. Just don't go too below freezing as you don't want to damage your seeds by exposing them to ice from the moisture. You may cause microscopic fractures in the already tiny seeds if water freezes on their surface. There are websites that can give you the recorded temperatures of your area from the past. I use wunderground.com/history/ The assumption that the temperature of say December 1, 2018 will be the same as December 1, 2019 should be good enough. Remember, look for the average temperatures. Not the highs or the lows. Use this in combination with your local weather forecast for best results. Don't make the same mistake as I did where I was so focused on cold stratification and forgot that I lived in a desert. I should have started earlier to give them a better chance at them facing the scorching sun. My point is temperature of spring and early summer will be more important than stratification temperatures.
They will likely not respond with rapid growth to the decreasing temperatures that winter will bring (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere). I would pay close attention to their rate of growth. If they seem to stop growing all together due to the cold, try not watering for a while. They have taproots that should grow deep into the ground in search of water so they will likely be fine. To answer your question, they will probably not bloom in November or December. The trick will be to get them to survive the winter in their immature state and give them the warmer conditions of spring that allow them to grow faster and bloom. This shouldn't be too hard since they do like colder temperatures compared to other flowers and you do live in a warmer climate with I assume a warmer than average winter. You may be well on your way to having better blooms than me.

I already have almost all the seeds of the different plants I want to grow this year on hand. I'm very excited to resume gardening and my TH-cam channel.
Beautiful
Anyone know where I can download this song?
Cool video. Love the music.
Somehow in my garden couple of poppy plants appeared as weeds - i don't know from where. I will collect some of the seeds for next year. It have white petals with violet dots inside.
I love your video so much 😘♥️
is it bug bites that made em leak or they just do it by themselves?
Смотрелбы вечно................
such a beautiful flower I just wish the bloom lasted longer :/
Agreed... I only get a day from mine😮💨
Good Video! Great Plant!
Beautiful song
Cool vid
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
Anyone know the lyrics to this song?
What hardiness zone are you in ? I'm in 8a. I plant mine in 5 gallon buckets so that I can move them once they had enough sun. I also do raised beds but they sometimes will overheat bc of the sunlight.
I grew these poppies in zone 10a, moved away to a much more mild climate and am still in zone 10a. If you're interested, Sunset Western Garden labels my previous zone 13 and my current one 24 and I think these zones provide more useful information.
Nature's best!
beautiful. love to see one from seed.
im sad, mine the flower bud fell off early for some reason, so it's a small pink flower, worried it wont grow 100% now, i bought it from wall mart, worried now
so its a small flower ( no green casing ) just a flower, closed still and pink, so worried, wanted a pretty flower.
It's probably California Poppy, they don't produce capsules only long seed pods.
I bought hungarian blue poppy seeds from wall mart. You gotta do your research and know what seeds to get. Papaver somniferum. There are some online vendor that sell them too. Check out little poppy momma on TH-cam she has a link for buying seeds. She has awesome poppys and great reviews.
I love this flower ☺️🌷❤
Looks beautiful!
So what's the deal with the opium poppy? Like unprocessed like this and with what it contains, it's a toxin right? to ward off bugs and animals that would eat it otherwise?
I THINK opium has two possible major uses. One, it has something to do with seed production since it is found in the pods of the plant. Two, yes it is supposed to ward of bugs and animals that would otherwise eat them. Opium is bitter, but the seeds are nutritious, so much so that we humans actually bother harvesting, growing, and eating these tiny things.
@@nichegarden The more you know. I had no idea about the seeds.
i live in new zealand i planted mine just before winter they are doing really well they are almost about to flower
Happy to hear that!
Where in NZ are ya Jase? Mine are doing well in the Waikato climate. Fl;owering beautifully at the moment. I want to get more varieties for next year, the differing colours of the flowers are truly unique.
Happy to hear you guys having such good luck with this amazing, gorgeous plant from god.
Great job 👍👍👍
Beautiful video. Hope you get to retake it sometime!
Free Opium Good Work !
how long it takes from flower petals falling down to ripe seeds?
thanks for the vid and maybe some answers!
I honestly don't know/remember. If it helps, it should take longer than one week. Also, you will know that the seeds are ripe if they make a rattling sound inside the pods when shook. Ideally you would shake the seeds out into a container rather than break open a pod that might still have unripe seeds along with the ripe ones. Of course you would shake the rest of the seeds out as they mature over the next few days.
wanted to know how long it takes from germination to flowering
Sorry. I don't know the exact day I planted, but it was in February. So that would make it about 60 days. This is a bit too short. Some stress probably caused the plants to flower sooner than they should have.
Some people even sow the seeds in the fall. That's what someone like me with a hotter climate should have done. The poppies would grow slowly in the winter and resume in the spring. So that could make the time to bloom much longer. But they would get a headstart and be better prepared for my more subtropical climate.
They grow on a photoperiod, you can plant em enywhere from late fall to early winter, and they'll begin flowering after the days get to ba around 13 hours long, otherwise I've heard about 90 days
How do you grow them?
Awesome
Very nice video
Thank you!
Nowadays people underestimate this flower. But without it there would be no opiates...
Nice flower
Hey the way the pods started getting those brown spots , were those from you poking it...I grew the same one last year of you message me I'll show you pictures. I think I got too excited and stated slicing too soon cuz I didn't get any off it
I didn't poke these pods. Sometimes they just leak by themselves. Sometimes slicing too deep can be a cause for nothing coming out. Of course, slicing too early is also a possibility. I would love to see pictures. Do you prefer by email?
So they cut the pod, the sap comes out, they let it dry, and the brown stuff is usable from that moment onward?
Yeah, "usable".
@@nichegarden would you recommend this as an ingredient in food? I have eaten asian dishes where this was used in small quantity. It certainly invoked a sense of comfort.
Maybe. You might want to thoroughly wash and bake them before using though. I've never tried eating homegrown seeds.
@@largepoodle6036 be careful orally dosing raw opium, morphine levels can vary pretty wildly especially when talking about latex from lancing the pods. Get a pipe. Get some tobacco or some low quality cannabis trimmings, mix latex thoroughly. Small hits.
This strain is useless

@@nichegarden Excellent, thank you!
You're welcome.
Do poppy leaves contain opioids?? Do people smoke the leaves too?(or rather.. can it be smoked to get high/euphoria?)
They do contain opiates, however I have never heard of people smoking the leaves. I think any small amount found in there would mostly combust rather than vaporize. Stay safe.
@@nichegarden combust?? Damn. That's not good, a friend is trying to do this with very little knowledge of it and i'm a bit worried. Thank you very much 🙏🏻
Always happy to help inform people on plants. By combust, I don't mean anything particularly dangerous, just that what little is found in the leaves would be chemically altered in an unfavorable way. Opium is heated and the resulting vapor is inhaled. Or the opium can be taken orally. If you're vaguely familiar with "smoking opium", the flame is not actually applied directly to the latex.
What a beautiful video. Thanks for uploading! Subscribing with hopes of more! Peace
Did you try this as medicine,?? Did it work,? Reason I asak you is I have the exact same plant but are not sure if low in Morphine content,?/,
I have not used this specific plant, but another one I grew this year. (Should be uploading a video of that one after finals).
EDIT I knew that the days that I was photographing the poppy were breezy, but I did not know the wind was so strong that I would not be able to create a smooth time-lapse. I will not be uploading that video.
I used almost all of the opium from one plant which was three flowers. The remaining amount came from a small flower that bloomed much later. I did not weigh this amount of opium, but it was a sphere about 5 millimetres in diameter. I took it after dissolving most of it in a cup of hot tea. The amount that did not dissolve may have been some other plant material which I also consumed.
I definitely felt some effects. I have never used any prescription painkillers, so my description may be not so good. I have used 7 grams of kratom on a few occasions though.
Anyway, I just felt good for several hours, kind of a mild body high. I eventually felt kind of tired, but ever so slightly nauseous and unwilling, but able, to fall asleep. I maintained all major motor functions throughout. Unlike with kratom, I did not feel itchy and was not constipated the day after. The effects of seven grams of kratom were more intense, so there is that. I weigh only about 130 pounds.
Please keep in mind, that there is a danger of overdose with opium. Different plants may have differing amounts of morphine, codeine, etc.
@@nichegarden yea cheers bro kind thaughts all the best.
ps i was asking about this strain or cultivar ONLY
@@ПБОДНАР So did you want to know the name of this cultivar or the one I was talking about? This one is called "Tasmanian Purple" from *shelley on ebay. The one I was talking about was Zahir.

You scored them too early. You gotta wait for the brown ring to appear at the bottom of the pod and for the crown to go upright.
Your advice for when to score is correct, but I did not score them whatsoever.

@@nichegarden thank you!
@christian tartaglia Bitte schön
I've seen ppl put the pods in a jar with vodka and let it sit.. anyone know why they do that??
I believe that this is supposed to be more potent than poppy seed tea. The ethanol is better at dissolving each of the "main" alkaloids inside the pods than water is. The book titled "The Encyclopedia of Psychoactive Plants: Ethnopharmacology and Its Applications" by Christian Rätsch describes a traditional method of preparation as follows,
"The fresh, not fully ripened capsules can be made into an opium and rum pot. A container that can be completely sealed is filled to the brim with opium capsules, after which rum is added until all the fruits are covered. To improve the bitter taste and to potentiate the effects, several female inflorescences of Cannabis indica or Cannabis sativa and flowers of Datura metel or another Datura species (Datura spp.) may be added. Seal the container and allow the mixture to sit in a relatively warm location for six months. Then pour off the liquid and vigorously squeeze the opium capsules in a strainer. As little as one shot glass of the liquid will induce clearly perceptible opium effects."
The book also goes on to explain the preparation of laudanum.
"Laudanum is a tincture that was originally made of opium, saffron (Crocus sativus), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), clove powder (Syzygium aromaticum), and Spanish wine (cf. Vitis vinifera). It was later produced using just opium, saffron, and high-proof alcohol (70% ethanol) (opii tinctura). The pharmaceutically standardized tincture should contain about 1% morphine. The largest single therapeutic dose of opium tincture has been listed as 1.5 g."

What strain is this? It looks like either the norman poppy or laurans grape.
I'm not sure if the genetics go back far enough to warrant its own strain name, but this was called "Tasmanian Purple" by ebay user *shelley. She has been selling seeds there since 1998 and possibly growing them for much longer.
@@nichegarden true tasmania purple are perdonanetly white with a purple center. That's why I think what you have is laurans grape.
@@mitchellbailey4906 That's definitely possible, probably even likely. If my memory serves me correctly, (don't quote me on this), *shelley got these from a friend from a trip to some middle eastern country. (Despite the name Tasmanian Purple). Perhaps the friend assumed just because they got the seeds from a foreign country, it meant the genetics were highly coveted.
@@mitchellbailey4906 I did not test the product in any way. I also don't have any more seeds from her. *shelley IS in fact currently selling them though.

Somebody know where can I get this seeds? Im from Mexico
I would imagine just about anywhere that sells plants and seeds. Make sure to get the right species of poppy. You might even be able to find some in the herbs and spices section of your local grocery store. However, the viability of these seeds intended for consumption will be uncertain.
Yo conseguí somniferums en Amazon, tardaron bastante en llegar, más o menos 6 meses, pero sin problemas algunos. A penas estoy viendo pequeños brotes de mis bebés.
I got mine from the spice section I n the grocery store. Opium poppys the same as the bagel poppy seeds they sell in stores

Do immature seeds sprout?
Immature seeds probably wouldn't sprout or produce undesirable plants. The plant should be allowed to mature its seeds undisturbed until one can hear seeds rattling when the dried pod is gently shook. Some seeds may actually fall out of the holes near the top of the dried pod. That is when the seeds are mature.
Wowwww 😍
Music is appropriate lol
So the flowers turn into seedpods?
The petals fall off, the fruit ripens, and eventually becomes the seed pod.
@@nichegarden does all types of plant produce opium resin? I have planted 'khas khas' and I want to know if their seed pods can make opiates
@@az09ndu Some of these seeds may have been bred for certain purposes. These include maximizing seed production for consumption, ornamental purposes, and opiate production. They will all contain the opium latex, but the ratios of the different opiates may vary. I value the freedom of information, but please do be careful with this plant.
@@nichegarden noted. Thankyou for the information
I've started mines a few weeks ago will these still bloom before the frost arrives I'm in the UK
Hard to say. I pretty much have never had to deal with frost where I lived. I planted mine before winter because my winter temperatures typically didn't go below freezing for more than a few hours. And when winters were over, the temperatures got insanely hot, too hot for poppies. So the idea was to get the poppies to bloom before they burn up in the spring/summer heat. For your climate, you may have the choice between starting before winter and starting after. The hardest part for you will probably be getting the poppies to develop their first true leaves. Once that happens, you should be set. You may want to read up on your exact climate and the climate that poppies thrive in to get an idea of what care you should be giving your poppies.
You started MINES? LIKE LANDMINES? or do you just not know how to write?
How did your poppys grow were you successful

How many pods per plant ?
I've tended to get about 3. I haven't been as successful as I wanted to with this plant, so there may be more than this on average. But the number can vary greatly especially when dealing with varieties specifically bred to have many pods. However, these plants with more pods tend to also have smaller pods. Hope this helps.
Is this the same plant used to make heroin? It’s beautiful honestly where can I get some?
Yes it is. You can find these seeds at just about anywhere that sells seeds next to the tomato, basil, thyme etc. Just make sure you get the right species. Papaver somniferum is what you are looking for. Gardening stores also sell Papaver orientale and Papaver rhoeas which are NOT the same. And of course these can be bought from just about every online store selling seeds.
Which poppy seed is using?
Another name for this plant is called breadseed poppy. I hope that helps.
What month did you sow the seeds?
February, though I may have had better luck if I sowed them in late fall. When to sow depends on your climate. People with warmer climates should sow in the late fall and those with cooler climates should sow in early spring. Poppies thrive best in temperatures between 10 - 25 °C.
@@nichegarden thanks for getting back to me. Every video I've seen on TH-cam fails to give general info like what month to sow and temperatures outside of when seeds are sowin an I guess when they bloom. That would help beginners alot. Maybe that could be and idea for your next video explain grow zones and how that changes the times you sow seeds. Would be the best video out there imo. But lack of general knowledge is hurting alot beginners. For example when you say late fall that means? I know that seems like a dumb subject but I think it's where most info is lacking. Grow zones and how that changes what month seeds are sowin would be really great. Anyways wish me luck lol
@@nichegarden I'd say I live in a warmer climate my seedlings are about half inch tall almost a inch I showed them in mid august and it's mid September now. Will I see them bloom in November or December?
You've just addressed one of my biggest pet peeves in gardening. Information is often very vague. You hear things like part sun, part shade, light watering, moderate watering and the list goes on. Anyway, you might have guessed that I got the info, "late fall" from some other source. Sometimes it takes a little experience, knowledge, and intellect to figure out what exactly your plants need. I see you have already planted seeds based on your other comment, but I will give you and anyone else who is patient enough to read what this comment some tips.
So Papaver somniferum is a plant that benefits from what's called 'cold stratification'. That is when the seeds are given cold temperatures and moisture before germination. When you live in a cold environment, you would not have to worry so much about this, assuming you plant in early spring like you would with most other seeds. If you live in a hot place, this becomes more important. The cold period may only last three months max and still not even be that cold. And early spring may already be pretty hot. Furthermore, like I said, the poppies will do better in temperatures between 10 - 25 °C.
So let's say you plant the seeds in the late fall. I would say to you it does not matter a whole lot what exact day since this cold stratification will last several weeks. If each season lasts three months, late fall is going to be the beginning of the third month of fall. Of course, we don't all live in some paradise where we get to experience the full effect of each season. Still, the beginning of the third month will probably do fine, but for a (maybe) better timing, you may want to consider finding out what period of 4 weeks will the average temperature of your area be above 0 °C and below 10 °C. The number of weeks and temperatures I have just given should be flexible. By this I mean, you may find a period of 4 weeks where the temperature is not quite in the range or a period where the temperature is in the range, but less than 4 weeks. I would say don't worry about that too much. Just don't go too below freezing as you don't want to damage your seeds by exposing them to ice from the moisture. You may cause microscopic fractures in the already tiny seeds if water freezes on their surface.
There are websites that can give you the recorded temperatures of your area from the past. I use wunderground.com/history/ The assumption that the temperature of say December 1, 2018 will be the same as December 1, 2019 should be good enough. Remember, look for the average temperatures. Not the highs or the lows. Use this in combination with your local weather forecast for best results. Don't make the same mistake as I did where I was so focused on cold stratification and forgot that I lived in a desert. I should have started earlier to give them a better chance at them facing the scorching sun. My point is temperature of spring and early summer will be more important than stratification temperatures.
They will likely not respond with rapid growth to the decreasing temperatures that winter will bring (assuming you live in the northern hemisphere). I would pay close attention to their rate of growth. If they seem to stop growing all together due to the cold, try not watering for a while. They have taproots that should grow deep into the ground in search of water so they will likely be fine. To answer your question, they will probably not bloom in November or December. The trick will be to get them to survive the winter in their immature state and give them the warmer conditions of spring that allow them to grow faster and bloom. This shouldn't be too hard since they do like colder temperatures compared to other flowers and you do live in a warmer climate with I assume a warmer than average winter. You may be well on your way to having better blooms than me.
