I had poppies like each of those (colour at any rate) at one time or another, but I haven't seen the ones like in your first photo for ages.
They are my favourites. Keep some seed, Eric :)
Your "three" are each quite different from a bees eye view 8)
Unique markings in the second one.
Lovely :)

Yes, we all want seed ;)  The colour is really pretty.  I have poppies popping up in various containers and I'm leaving them in situ wherever possible because you just never know what you'll get !

Lovely, Trish. We have poppies very similar to the bottom one which keep sowing themselves each year. The second one down looks particularly delightful.

Hi Eric. The Poppies were grown by our "Palustris" Eric.
His garden must be a real treasure with its diversity in plants.
