Another Identification Please
 

Could one of you assist me in the identification of this Poppy, it is not
one of the larger ones, but the same size as the one we call the Welsh
Poppy, however the foliage is different.

The plant may be viewed at this link and the thumbnails can be enlarged as
per the instructions.

Papaver somniferum

Thanks for that, I have looked it up, the plant shown in the link the leaves
are the same shape, but it appears to differ in height, this one only being
15" tall and the flower is only 1" in diameter. Will there be different
varieties of the said opium poppy?

It depends very much on the soil. I've seen them growing on very poor
soil, and they've been 'orrid and weedy, about four inches high and with
a flower less than half an inch across.

It comes in several colours, in single and double forms, and there's
varieties with various forms of seed pod. Chiltern Seeds, for example,
sell 17 varieties.
