A beautiful Poppy, Wylie! It's a annual Poppy, isn't it? Lovey orange colour just like in Calendulas!

This was a surprise. I have been cleaning up around the place and lots of poppy plants have been coming up. They are all of unknown origin. I thought it may be a common one around here, but those are all single and more of a faded orange color. It should be annual, but poppies are one of those you plant once and never need to sow again.

"It should be annual, but poppies are one of those you plant once and never need to sow again."

I think that describes the poppy's habit of self-seeding everywhere! I believe their seeds can stay dormant in the soil for many years & then suddenly sprout when they are least expected!
