I'm glad you did.

I'd never have believed otherwise that Mitt and Ann could produce a
beautiful child. ;-)

Is it a poppy?

Whatever it is, it's beautiful and I want some!

Yep, it's a poppy... and a right purty one, too. :-)

I'd already Goooogled and found it to be what we call a tree poppy.

But I haven't any room for a tree poppy ... :-(

We've had a Matilija in our North Wilts garden for over twenty years, it's a
small shrub (I guess you'd call it), never more than about a metre wide at
the top, but quite tall. Covered with the beautiful white flowers about
4"/20 cm across in mid-late summer. The seed pods seem to be sterile, I've
never managed to collect any seeds at all in all this time. Or maybe they
need another one nearby to pollinate them, and there aren't any. Dunno.

Pity you're in the north, I'd have called to see it next time we visit a son
in Chippenham.
