After traveling over 7,000 miles from San Diego to Tasmania, I
discovered that the California Poppy is very popular in that area.
In fact, much of the Tasmanian flora is similar or identical to that in
Southern California. I guess the climate must be similar.

This isn't California Poppy
Amost all of the parts - petals, fruits, anthers and leaves are
different
The botanical illustration here shows the differences especially the
leaves and fruits

It looks more like Papaver nudicaule - Iceland Poppy
