Poppies - where to buy plants?

I love poppies but find it hard to buy them in Dublin the selection isnt great maybe the odd yellow or orange iceland poppy here and there some Woodies dont sell them and one other garden centre only had two plants, my mother has a huge scarlet oriental poppy I tried to grow the seeds but to no avail and no luck either…

I love the wild poppies but dont know where you can buy the plants. Poppies give a lovely burst of colour in the garden but it's hard locating the plants. Tried packet seeds and no luck either
