Hi mnorberry
I have been storing my poppyseeds in the refrig always. I have a book "Park´s success with seeds" from USA I think, the best book for sowing seeds in the world :o) . I can reed that Papaver oriental shall not be covered as they need light to germinate. Other papaver like to germinate in darkness, so cover the seeds with soil or black plastic if you sow indoors in spring, and outdoors make sure seed is completely covered. If you sow indoors, when moving to the garden be extreme carefully because they not like to be transplanted. And I have alway follow this directions with success.
I have a lot of peony poppies, pink (but not like yours beauty) lilac, dark-vinered, Flemish Antique, white I be happy to share some seeds with you, please mail me.
regards from Sylvia
