I started to grow poppies 2001 and have grown poppies since. I injured my hand in 2011 and was given strong medications that I became addicted to and then I started growing poppies on a large scale and in 2016 I got hold of ikkanshu mania and that variety is something completely unique because it is so much better than anything else I have grown. And in 2020 I managed to get ikkanshu mania to bloom at the same time as my perennial poppy and I got large somniferum seeds in the perennial poppy. I understood immediately what had happened but I didn't have ai at the time. Ai explains exactly how it happened and you can read more about the cross if you go to the x hybrid.
