when is the best time to cut poppy heads from the plant?

If you wish to collect seed, you can leave them until they are dry and brown and then the seeds will come out as from a pepper pot. If not, they can be removed after flowering, but I think they are pretty and tend to leave them on for a time.

I leave them as they are so decorative, but if you don't want them self-seeding, cut them off once the bloom has gone.
