rkundalini Posted September 14, 2000 I just noticed the addition of opium poppies. I was just wondering about the statement that it is illegal to import the seeds. At least one brand ("Hoyts") of culinary poppy seed is fertile. Therefore it can't be from the Tasmanian industry. I have been told it is not a good yielder, but nonethless, does anyone know what the story is? Is it P. somniferum and is it imported? Just curious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted September 15, 2000 Bread seed poppy in Australia is usually Papaver rhoes. Mildly active, but not spectacular. Ethnic shops would probably be unaware of the legislation and many would have the real thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
