Oriental Poppy Seeds

The Oriental Poppy has large, 6" wide bright orange flowers with delicate, tissue paper-like petals.

Oriental Poppy blossoms are well known for the beauty they bring to any indoor flower arrangements. For the best results, cut the flowers in early morning when the buds are just unfolding, searing the stem's cut end with the flame of a match.
