Poppies - probably Opium poppies -Papaver Somniferum. Lots of colours and self seed easily. Nice find

Wapwap, could you add your location (nearest town) to your profile please. Then it will show on your posts - you can see from mine that I live in Lowestoft.
Well done on the poppies - they're beautiful.Comment

I let opium poppies self-seed on the lotty, but they refuse to grow at school, even though we've sprinkled packs & packs of seed up there. WeirdAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Yes, definitely poppies. My garden is full of them. They make a gazillion seeds each, so unless you want poppies next year, get them before the seed head ruptures.
PS I'm a laydee too
Is there anything that isn't made better by half an hour pottering in the veg patch?Comment
