Could one of you assist me in the identification of this Poppy, it is not
one of the larger ones, but the same size as the one we call the Welsh
Poppy, however the foliage is different.

The plant may be viewed at this link and the thumbnails can be enlarged
as
per the instructions.

Many thanks

Papaver somniferum


I agree, commonly known as the opium poppy.


Thanks for that, I have looked it up, the plant shown in the link the leaves
are the same shape, but it appears to differ in height, this one only being
15" tall and the flower is only 1" in diameter. Will there be different
varieties of the said opium poppy?
