Poppy Seeds

It's spring, and I have a lot of poppy seeds lying around. I can't plant them all, so if any of you would like to get some seeds from me, please let me know.

Most of them are dark red with a black centre, but many of them are coming up dark purple, almost black, viz.:



They're rather mixed up, so I am not sure exactly what you will get. I also don't know if there would be any issues about mailing seeds outside of Canada. Poppies grow pretty well around here, best spot would be a warm sunny spot with sandy soil. Germination rates are great, they come up like a little field of lettuce so you need to thin them out early for best results.
