It's a Beautiful Poppy But....


It's a Beautiful Poppy But....

It wasn't open when I did my blog of close ups whilst the sun shone on Monday. this one self seeded here under my big conifer.Very little grows here as the soil is so dry but the pink hardy geranium does and so does this and although they don't really go(colour wise ) , I don't have the heart to remove it!

Is this the Welsh Poppy,Paul? I have let mine run riot this year,along with yellow ones,in a long border..fills all the gaps,even where I don't want them....like in the centre of other plants :o)..I have those Geraniums too..love them as well ..

Not sure Bloomer......I sowed a few from a pack of seeds that came with a magazine, years ago and only 2 came up but they have since self seeded! I can't remember what it was called! It's only a few inches high!
Thanks Tt

It probably isn't then,Paul,as they are taller than that..but a very similar flower..pretty one anyway :o)
