The cliff gardens in town have some wonderful poppies growing in them -
frilled, various shades for mauve and so on. Unfortunately, the council is
in the process of "formalising" the gardens, and are about to rip them all
out! If I go and take some seed pods now, while they are still green, will
the seed ripen?

Unlikely, I'd think but you have nothing to lose by trying. But can't
you ask them to let you stick some in pots and take them away. They
might make it!
