Papaver orientalis
We have three strains of this giant poppy in our garden, a strong red, an orange and a softer, pinker red. They appear without fail each summer and I photograph them without fail each summer. Last year I actually remembered to collect seed heads in the autumn and hope to propagate this beautiful bloom to other parts of the garden (and probably those of our neighbours…inadvertently).
