Sebas Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) Thank you, and you're welcome! Would it be against forum policy to post some photo's of poppy-pods that have just been carved as well? Edit: little correction. Edited August 29, 2006 by Sebas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nabraxas Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) I always had a preconception that the sap was red dont know why? Sometimes it can have a pinkish hue, sometimes it can be dark red. Initially the latex is pink; later it changes to black. (More great pics Here) Some claim that the red/pink latex is much stronger than the white. Some claim the red/pink latex is indicative ov a high thebaine content, though that seems quite doubtful. Edited April 23, 2008 by nabraxas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nabraxas Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) Are peonys also safe to use Papaver Somniferum XXX = Opium Poppy Anything else = Not Opium Poppy eg:Black Peony = Papaver Somniferum edit---though whether that means they are "safe to use" is a matter for debate ;) Edited May 11, 2008 by nabraxas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nabraxas Posted May 12, 2008 (edited) Papaver somniferum Paeoniflorum Group (sometimes called Papaver paeoniflorum) is a sub-type of opium poppy whose flowers are highly double, and are grown in many colors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_poppy in other words, yes peonys are a sub-type of opium poppy. Papaver rhoeas however is the plain old corn poppy & has none ov the somniferum goodness. Edited May 12, 2008 by nabraxas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
