Hi, the white poppy is California Alba, sorry I didn't realize I had mispelled it on my trade list. It over winters in some of zone 7 and others as an annual. Long ago Native Americans in California used this poppy for tooth aches and headache pain. It doesn't have the strong alkaloids of opiate poppy but was also used as a food source (root and leaves). The lavender poppy is a bread poppy with a gorgeous laender bloom. Take care, Happyseed

my seed list was last updated 12/7/14. some seeds have been traded/used since then. but I have not found the magic link to update my list. can email current list to anyone interested.

I have a number of Rose of Sharons and thought your question very interesting so I did a Google search, using your post title. Lots of information can be found at the link below... Here is a link that might be useful: Rose of Sharon Unripe Seed Pod Edible?
