Forgotten what these are...

Yup, could be it the Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule). The californian poppy in actually not a poppy, not even related, and the bud is quite different (small, thin and pointy, and smooth,not prickly like a poppy).

 

Quick one, sorry again. Have a packet says ' Shirley Mixed' or something. I'm so sorry as to getting withings wrongs.

I'll have to post some more pics. As long as you don't get bored. Thanks


cheers

Right, thanks to you I can now identify the Califonia & Iceland poppies I have growing. Yes you are right Ivory (of course:thumb, the California poppy is totally different I can see now. Didn't know what this was either until you described it.
2 more identified now, yah!

Thank you again.

cheers

 

Shirley are one of my favorite poppies borrowers! I hope you have plenty more from where those stems came from!
