These come up every year but have never seen them so floriferous! They are in front of a Rosa rubrum which really and unexpectedly contrasts with their colour.

They are stunning

Yes I have lots where I don't want them in the veg beds.  Love em but not where they are........

[miggs]

Looking very good.

[Mrs Bee]

They look glorious.

I have poppies coming up all over the place and I didn't plant them. Just hope they are pink to fall in with my colour planting.

Mmmm - I'm wondering if those are the Welsh poppies with yellow or orange flowers? I have those too and they do self-seed all over the place.

Very envious for some reason this year mine have died off, one plant we put down to cats, but the other 3 leaves have also turned a very mottled yellow and scorched

Mine are oriental poppies that have been there for a number of years. Are yours the same variety? Even so, poppy leaves go like that after flowering and not before. Your cat hasn't wee-d on them has it?

We have oriental poppies in our garden, and our favourite is one called Turkenlouis, if that's how it's spelled, I can't remember. We look forward to the first one every year, the colour hits you right between the eyes, and they have a lovely fringed edge to the petals. Our little granddaughter says that the fallen petals are 'ladybirds'.

I have a lovely poppy, not sure if it's an oriental,don't know how they get that distinction but mine is called Pattys Plum, took me ages to find one having seen it on a gardening programme or at a garden or show. It's had the most flowers it's ever had this year & they all came when I was away just typical huh 

[Aunt Sally]

It is an oriental poppy, and a lovely pink it is too

[snowdrops]

I'm hoping to save the seed & see if it will come true

[Aunt Sally]

I've never tried growing them from seed.  Doesn't sou d too tricky.
