Guest Øskorei Posted April 27, 2007 I sent a message to the seller with this question: Hi, may I ask what makes you beleive that this as a p.somniferum ? It is unlike any that I've seen in the past, and wonder if it may be a rare cultivar. My limited experience would have NEVER picked that as a p.som. Cheers, have a great weekend.

Evil Genius Posted April 27, 2007 I´ve seen this one a few times on ebay before but not from the same seller. Allegedly it´s really a somniferum. It looks interesting and totally diffrent than other somniferums. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naja naja Posted April 27, 2007 (edited) I have seen that variety before. It's from Tas ;) A commercial variety shall we say. And I don't think it's a scam or a sham, just a nieve or ignorant seller. Otherwise, if it were a bust, they'd actually have to honour all their other legal sales, which in their whole shop this is the only single dodgy listing.

I've seen the tassie one too and it wasn't frilly. This frilly one is sold as a popular ornamental in europe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monk Posted April 28, 2007 I believe there are several varieties like this. Type in "peony flowered poppy" into google images. Several pics will come up resembling this one. I think this is no more rare that double flowered brugs. Dangerous Dave use to grow a type very similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise, if it were a bust, they'd actually have to honour all their other legal sales, which in their whole shop this is the only single dodgy listing. I'm sorry, this is probably a stupid question, but I thought it was legal to buy and sell P. somniferum seeds within Australia. I know it's a prohibited import, but they're not actually illegal are they? Am I missing something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shruman Posted August 10, 2007 Seeds are fine. The quantity & type probly indicates u would grow them but. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
