WOW, my mom's backyard is like an oilfield. Full of poppies, irises, tiger lillies, daylillies, etc etc. Apparently people buy dried poppy pods/stems for near $1 a piece, for decoration, etc. man-o-man Im in the wrong business!! :)

Probably sturdy, old-fashioned ones. Sometimes the new ones just don't cut it.

I commend both of you for offering them on freecycle. I hate to see lovely plants get composted. Luckily, I only have to put mine up at the busy street-corner and they're usually snatched within about 20 minutes.
