What is this Plant?
Hi,
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 |

Oriental Poppy. The plant is very very bristley and can sometimes feel like it's stinging you. The good thing about these beauties is that they are perennial, so they'll come back every year in the same place. Unlike alot of poppies which are annuals.

At least, it appears the original poster can't see it. Excellent. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |
