Papaver = poppy & somniferum = sleep inducing.
Did you know that it's legal to grow these poppies (they're annuals) as long as it's only a small patch in one's flower garden.
Some of the varieties are absolutely gorgeous & many gardeners do grow them just for show! Check out the images of a few diff ones here:

I'd love to get this variety:

I've wanted to order seeds before but I could only find them in large amounts. Not any more so maybe I will.
