Just thought I'd chime in and show some of the poppies I've grown during the past two years 
I grow mine together with Papaver rhoeas to enhance biodiversity in my garden. I only grow P. somniferum as an ornamental, so I can't attest for the alkaloid content of any of the cultivars I've grown. I've made tea from P. rhoeas though, it's really great for insomnia.
P. somniferum 'Lauren's grape'



P. somniferum 'Giganteum'


P. somniferum 'Hungarian Blue'


P. somniferum 'Crimson Feather'

Some P. rhoeas mixed with P. somniferum in the patch

Amphora produced a few like this:

And then I believe this is the result of pollinating an industrial poppy with Papaver bracteatum pollen:

I had several After Midnight plants with flowers with only 2 or 3 petals. This is one with two:

I already posted the image showing the After Midnight flower with a single fused petal. It's an interesting line. Frank Morton is an amazing breeder of these plants.
I don't use opiates but I love poppies and cooking with and eating poppy seed. I grew many poppies last year of over a dozen forms and cross pollinated them manually with paintbrushes in the mornings. I've been breeding them for about 5 years now.

My pictures cannot do it justice, but you can get a slightly better idea of it's appearance with this image:

Note the green yarn tag, I used these to mark specific flowers so that I can keep track of what flower corresponds to what pod when I collect seeds. Though I cut open the pods in the garden, when the seed is ripe, and dump the seed into a container and then cut the plant down into pieces and leave it where it is, so as to ensure that I am in compliance with all federal laws. I never even take the pods indoors.
I have about a gallon of mixed seeds from last year.

Planted in October and kept the pots in the workshop. I’m looking forward to spring.

If they're already starting to bolt up with the flower-stalks and starting to bloom inside the pots, though, I don't expect them to grow up much larger than that once placed outdoors/in the ground.
Maybe they will tho?...I've never done that with poppies so can't say for sure, but I feel that once an annual-plant like poppies that only blooms once/lives for one season won't grow much larger once they start to bolt & bloom.
I'm def curious to see/hear what happens with them though.
I sowed a Peshawar variety of p.som seed a few weeks ago. A lot of them germinated within about 7 to 10 days but we had several days of hail-storms last week that knocked out a few of the seedlings, and it looks like a cat was walking around in the large pot and smashed some of the tiny/fragile seedlings.
Still within the ideal window of sowing/germinating poppy seed in my area so I plan on sprinkling a bit more seed in that pot.
I also have some "Black Swan" p.som seed that I'm going to try to find a little spot to grow 'em. And IIRC the plants I collected that seed from was grown in a patch with several other varieties of poppy, so I'm curious to see if any different traits come out since the bees/pollinators were having a total orgy with and mixing up all the pollen between the different varieties.
I've made a few intentional crosses between varieties of poppy but I haven't been able to grow out the seed from those crosses yet. Fun stuff though!

They aren’t going in the ground. I just wanted to grow a few plants over the winter. I prepared a garden bed in the fall. I have transplanted successfully.

Hypothetically I think that after flowering they would die back but if the amount of sunlight was increased they may keep going 
Interesting how cold starts aren't necessary..
I've got a half a dozen different seeds that I'm working with this season

With poppies, an increase in photoperiod (along with heat) is usually associated with flowering, as they are a long-season flowering therophyte. In their native habitat they grow vegetatively during the fall and start producing the flower axis at the beginning of spring.
I've tried to grow them in the heart of summer with basically 15 hours of sunlight, and they've always bloomed prematurely. I suspect heat is a more important trigger than photoperiod, but the latter has its importance. I grow other annual herbaceous plants (borage, bugloss, asters, lacy phacelia etc.) and I've never seen such a strong dependance on long photoperiods in any of those. Sow borage in full summer and rest assured it will grow to an appreciable size before flowering; the same can't be said about poppies.
Anyway, in my experience, once they start flowering there's no reverting back to growing. The entire structure of the plant makes it impossible for it to grow again, as no more apical meristems are produced after the flowering spike emerges. With other annuals (mostly Asteraceae such as Scolymus sp. and Sonchus sp.), sometimes you get some new growth coming from the plant's taproot, just beneath the leaf crown. But I've never seen it happening with annual poppies. Something similar happens with perennial poppies such as Papaver orientale, which can use this method to reproduce asexually.
