The green/brown growth that you referred to is called the stigma, aka female reproductive part. Generally the ovary will turn brown when pollination took. From the first few pics, it appears there are seedpods forming but it is too early to tell as they can abort. You can celebrate when they grow about an inch or 2 in length. The pedicel will grow thicker to support the pods too. This post was edited by k2fl on Fri, Oct 3, 14 at 14:10

I'm in south puget sound area the pacific northwest (US). We had a particulary bad bout of spider mites and powdery mildew late this summer. Pretty frustrating. Anyways, I still have poppies blooming. I started some in april and a second planting in june. Some of the june ones bloomed by august; others are just starting. Late summer was unusually dry here. Then we started getting our usualy cool, grey and wet weather in late september. A couple of my pods which were just about ready to harvest for seed started turning green again so I pulled them and viola! all the seeds were fully germinated! Darn!! My first Hen and Chicks plant bloomed in early september. I only got two flowers from a single plant, so I really didn't want to mess up the only seeds. I brought this plant, which was in a pot, onto my enclosed back porch. Unfortunately, the plants aren't getting enough light for the younger pods to develop. I have no supplemental light source, so I had to choose to keep the HnC pods dry. Does anyone have any hints on how to deal with late season poppies in the pac northwest?
