Title: Which plant is this?
Post by: cc on July 17, 2019, 13:58

I want this plant to basically take over a bed but yet again I have forgotten its name. The picture is dodo as the floweer is orange. Ta

Looks like poppy flower buds but not from the flower. The flower without the centre protrusion looks like a day Lilly of Hemeracallis( don’t think I’ve spelt that right though

I first thought poppies, but the flower is not right.   Then I thought it was something else growing in amongst poppies.   Meconopsis came to mind, but aren't they either blue or yellow.    Erm, not sure.    Mrs Bouquet

Definitely not Lilly of Hemeracallis.
Picture is terrible. I will try again with a different camera. It flowers from spring to autumn. Known to take over a border or bed.

After seeing a better picture are we still going with Icelandic poppy?
To many petals I think for Icelandic poppy?

Yes I agree... and some forms are semi-double. My daughter has some like this growing in cracks in her driveway

At last Papaver rupifragum 'Double Tangerine Gem Spanish Poppy. Not easy unlikely to have found it myself if hadn't checked my laptop.
