It's the time of year when avalanches happen in my pantry. In shoveling out the debris, I find some summer forgottens... We grew a short little row of these Ziar breadseed poppies (Papaver somniferum, or opium poppy), which are available from Fedco. This past week on my birthday, Matt put a few spoonfuls of our harvest into a batch of heavenly lemon-poppy-seed cream scones.

How beautiful! And what a nice birthday treat too. Your Mom's poppies have found a happy home here and are coming up like crazy.
I Love that idea.......okay, now send me some:)
Wow...those seed pods and seeds are a thing of beauty!
Beautiful flowers and impressive seed heads too! Even that bee looks happy. The scones sound scrumptious...Mmmm!
Wow those are some huge seedpods! So beautiful and tasty too. I tried growing breadseed poppy once but was not quick enough - birds got all the seeds before me.
amazing-- beautiful , deep blue seeds-- I love poppies.
I'm growing this variety this year and found your blog when searching for photos of what the blooms will look like. Thanks for the photos.
Are you still gardening? Would love to see what you're growing from FEDCO this year! I found your blog from a Google search for "ziar breadseed". I'm growing them this year, also from fedco!
