Surely not?
Eschscholtzia have a long seed capsule, and on these you can see the
typical seed capsule shape of Papaver (poppy),



I agree Kay that's what I would have gone with. Thought at first it
might have been Romneyi but guess not.



I don't think it's a Camelia. It's the right shape for a rhododendron,
but I'm seeing palmate leaves at the bottom, unless they're leaves
from the tree/shrub behind the 'pink flowering' shrub.

Right bark for a rhodo. And flower density.



It's nothing like a camellia, far too many flowers and too tall really,
also leaves look wrong.
