Well hello there, refreshed Welcome area!

I supposedly sowed some poppies (P. Somniferum) outside, but i cannot tell them from other weeds, since im not sure how young poppy plants look like.
It would be great to find out.
(took some pics)

Im pretty sure poppy talk is discouraged, maybe not plant discussion Guy who used to mix poppy tea with kratom died recently, though this wasnt what killed him but still be careful with such things, he thought he knew his stuff going by the article, hope im not patronising you just seen this story and felt like sharing http://www.irishtimes.co.../0609/1224298641316.html

Thanks. Anyway the dumbest reaction i could ever expect.

I'm sure Imperfect's intent was to grow them for ornamental purposes as they are quite breathtaking. However, I'm relatively sure what has been pictured is not what he's looking for. The flowers are way off in the second picture and the plants in the first look like a hodgepodge of various weeds.

When did you sew them? You may have planted them too late for germination.

The leaves should look more like this:

Thank you for understanding. My guess is it could have been a little late, but more than a month back. Anyway, im hopeful Ill just wait and see...

One month ago sounds VERY late. Regardless, best of luck.

The best way to tell young poppies IMO is to see if there are hairs on the leaves. Almost like peach fuzz on the leaves. That is a good indicator.

You can replant poppies throughout the entire growing season. Around here, the first batch just lost all their petals, and I see them around through early September, so I'm sure you have plenty of time.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure why, but when I hand sowed the seeds, they didn't come up the first year but came out the second year, without resowing. Ones started inside took right off though.

I'm not exactly sure what you meant with this comment but on the DMT-Nexus we like to be polite to each other and calling something 'the dumbest reactions ever' is not something I like to see here.

Check the Discouraged drug talk: RCs, Datura, Kratom, Ketamine, Opiates, strychnine to see what Infinite I meant with the discouraged talk.

Not sure about the bottom picture, but the top one looks right (at least the left leaf does). Wavy or ragged elongated leaves. Google image search Papaver somniferum for comparisons.

I have read it, as i recall it has no such word as poppy in it and I didnt mention opiates here, just came to ask a question about a PLANT. Many fellows have given me a helping hand and not THE BIG BOOT Thank you everybody, I hope you dont take any offense from my posts as none was intended.

perhaps you may want to try starting seeds indoors (if your climate is not stable) then transplanting, my friends have had good luck with this method in the past
