Just wanted to know if anyone knew where I could find a poppy field in Tennessee to visit. I think it would be awesome to get some pictures there.

It’s interesting how there are so many RG observations of opium poppies growing wild in Tennessee. I looked at a few and where do you suspect they were actually growing? IDer fault?

I don’t know, I just searched quickly on the explore page, not looking too closely.

In North America, Opium Poppies are grown as ornamentals in gardens fairly often. The tiny seeds get spread around. I found them wild very occasionally in Iowa.
