We are PoppiesPlus.com , We have been Organically growing Poppy Pods for the past 24 years in Southern Oregon, before that as a hobby for more than 60 years.  Seeds have been collected from world travels, friends, and gifts from those abroad and from big pharma itself. The Tasmanian, China Whites, Raja Poppy varieties are what we primarily grow each year.  Tasmanians are the most popular, and we grow 3 types of Tasmanian poppys.

We also grow Organic Wine Grapes-Merlot and Cabernet Savignon, the wines can be purchased from  www.chateaulorane.com  
Poppys are grown down the row centers-The poppys in their growing-green stage give off an Alkaloid Gas that prevents mildew in the vineyards.

We are dedicated to producing the finest Poppy Pods-primarily 
tasmanian and China whites, with an emphasis on producing Pod shapes, size, length, color, spotting, staining, tans, whites and Sizes for Floral Crafters..  We grow them ourselves, It is an extreme amount of work to grow poppys.
 
Resellers that import container loads of turkish bread seed pods from Holland, sorting them to look like various varieties.  We grow the real Tamanian and China Whites poppy pods. 

We are generous in our pricing, quantity, gifts, and fast priority shipping with delivery confirmation, barring extreme weather due to our remote location.

Poppys have been used for not just decoration, but teas, tinctures, and other uses for the past 3400 years or longer.  Poppy pods contain  a number of  sticky Alkaloids designed to trap and kill bugs. All plants have defensive mechanisms, after all,  animals, humans and mammals are not alone in protecting their offspring. the Cocoa plant, where our chocolate comes from, contains a bitter tasting alkaloid called theobromine, present in both cocao nibs and very dark chocolate, the bitter taste prevents animals and birds from eating the tasty chocolate.

The internet has endless information on Poppys, please use it.

Our Tasmanian poppy pods have been the most popular, and are the most work to grow, plants may produce only one pod per plant.  One of my 5 degrees from UCLA was in Botany--(others-botany, film making, commercial art, graphic design, pyschology of advertising), I grew up on grandpas Citrus Ranch in Southern California, Agriculture has been in my fun, so to speak from childhood, plowing fields in the summer months at 8 years old with grandpa's Fordson Tractor. 

Thomas Jefferson grew poppys to use for pain relief, as there was no common over the counter pain relievers like aspirin. The so called Opium Poppys do not contain any form of opium, that was a British ploy in their plan to take over  China. A term coined in 1856 by a German Scientest, calling the chemical compounds in poppys as raw opium, may have been the source of the term.

We only sell field dried poppy pods with the seeds removed.

We sell seeds, and replant them year after year, need seeds?, We sell 46 varietys of seeds.

When poppys receive more than adequate water and Nitrogen, spotting, staining of pods happens, stems sometimes streak of black sap when the plant is attacked by bugs.  Our other sites-
