Hi, I have a big Poppy Mix, I also did not seperate, but I know they were Red and White. I also have a good sized bag of Liatris from a trade, all it says is "purple". If these are of interest to you, I would love the Morning Glory "Blue Zebra" and the "mix". Have a great day ~Janna

Yes, Jack in the Pulpit seeds must be fresh and must not get dried out before planting. From the link below, Remove the red flesh and plant the seeds immediately; don't let them dry out. Sow the seed outdoors where you want the plants to grow, covering the seeds with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of soil. Seedlings should come up in early spring. Another method is to refrigerate freshly cleaned seeds in a plastic bag with some moist sand or potting soil for six weeks, then sow the seed in pots. In spring, plant the seedlings outdoors. Once plants become established in a favorable site, they are likely to self-seed. I suggest trying to trade for them from sometime in July until maybe early Sept.

If you are looking for the orange ones, I have some that are needing a home. I received them in a 2008 trade and believe they were collected in 2008. No trade necessary, I'd just like to share them and get them gone before they get any older. If interested, just drop me an email with addy and I'll get them out to you. chemocurl...aka Sue

Terri, that was a good article. I wish the article had included a picture of the poppies, though. I got some seed marked "Gray-Seeded Poppy" in a bunch of seeds mailed to me as bonus in a seed trade. I have seen posts by people who say it is illegal to grow them so I'm glad to see in the article you provided the link to about "intent". I am one of those gray-haired grandmothers. Here is a picture of the poppies that grew from the seed I was sent: I thought the flowers were quite attractive. The center of the flower reminds me of a little spaceship. When the flower is done, it leaves a pod that looks to me like a little salt shaker on a stem. When the seeds have matured enough, the pod dries and shrinks back from a little scalloped "hat" to reveal holes. If you turn the pod upside down and give it a little shake, the seeds will come out like salt out of a salt shaker. They are, indeed, gray. Like the article said, I would think you could plant poppy seed from your spice rack. In the case of something like marijuana, you can get in trouble for having either the plant or the seed. So since we can buy poppy seed in any store, and I've never heard of anyone raiding somebody's spice rack, I find it a little odd that anybody's raiding someone's flower garden. Again, I suppose it would make a difference if you had an entire FIELD of them, as the article said. --Ilene
