Allotments 4 All

I have these 2 , I think unusual poppies, and everyone want seeds, can you tell me the right way and the right time to get seeds off of these.
thank you

Let the seed heads dry naturally on the plant.  When they are brown and dry little holes will appear towards to top of the seed case ready for natural scattering by the wind.  You will know they are ready because you will be able to hear the seeds rattling inside.  Good luck.   :)

Thank you Georgie, thought I would have to wait till they dry-out,
hope enfield is OK, was born and breed there.

You are most welcome.   :)

Enfield is fine thanks, I love this little town.  May I ask whereabouts you were born?  I live just off Lancaster Road, not far from Gordon Hill station.  We've been here over 20 years now and can't see us moving unless circumstances change drastically.
