Got some fresh green Papavar giganteum pods with stalk, would it be
possible to keep them alive in a jug of water for them to carry out
their natural Opium forming routine or will they die a death on me.
Thanks

Papaver somniferum is your opium poppy...
I doubt that you will get what you want from the pods that you have.
Wrong species. ;-)

Question: Isn't it illegal to cultivate P. somniferum anywhere in the
United States? So why do they sell the seeds at the seed stores?? :-o
