 Re: Poppys
the true poppy genus, Papaver, includes the Oriental poppy (P. orientale) bearing a large scarlet flower with a puplish-fl base; the corn poppy (P. rhoeas); and the Iceland poppy (P. nudicaule).
Its seed (poppyseed) is not narcotic and is used as birdseed and in baking; oil from the seed also used in cooking and for paints, soaps and varnishes.
Other genera in the family are also called poppies,e.g., the celandine poppy (Stylophorum diphylum) and the California poppy (Eschscholzia californica), the state flower of California." So don't bother mainlining the sap from those poppies you got from Burpee's, Matthew.
