Default Opium poppies in Britain

Some time ago we had a discussion about whether or not these would grow
*and* ripen in Britain. AFAIR, the general opinion was that they would
not.
However, on the uk.food group, someone has posted a link to an interesting
article: http://tinyurl.com/36htzv


That is fascinating. AFAIK, the decorative ones that we are most familiar
with, do not produce much worth getting your grannies opium pipe out from
under the stairs for.
