A red oriental poppy. All parts of the oriental poppy are poisonous. The seeds of the opium poppy
( P. somniferum) are the ones used in cooking as well as many other medicinal purposes. Some of
these drugs are highly addictive. P. somniferum is an annual plant. It looks a lot like the oriental poppies.
