I am new to this forum but wondered if anyone could help. I have an
allotment and the attached photo is of a gorgeous orange flower that is
there, with nasty looking leaves. Does anyone know what it is? I am
having problems with something biting / stinging me - and wanted to rule
this out. Thanks


That is an Oriental Poppy ( Papaver orientale ).
