Well, of course all poppy varieties have seed that grows that same variety, so in that regard every poppy plant makes seeds. However, commercial poppy seeds come from the opium poppy Papaver somniferum.
All plants reproduce by either seeds or spores. So, yes, poppies reproduce and make seeds after they flower. They had pods that, after a span of a few weeks, dry–then burst open and disperse. The seeds are very tiny, but there’s lots of them.
Poppy Seeds used in cooking and for flowers around your house are called Papaver Orientale. Each flower stem will make one seed pod when the flower petals fall, that contain approx. 140,000 seeds.
The Papaver Orientale contains only trace amounts of Opium Alkoloids.
Papaver Somniferum is the Opium Poppy and it is illegal to have any stems, seeds, or flowers in the United States. They are considered a Schedule I drug. Possession of Papaver Somniferum or parts are punishable by up to 25 yrs. in federal prison.
It is an Urban Myth that cooking poppy seeds are from Opium Poppys. When you buy poppy seeds over the e-net, you are getting Oriental Poppy seeds. Who are you going to complain too? Call the DEA and tell them you tried to commit an felony?
