    Cannot find this on the website. Growing in poor ground where I planted a wildflower mix I got from Johnny's. The second picture tries to show the leaves. Thanks Rosemary

    Answer

    Dear Rocky, your plant is a species of Papaver (poppy). It appears to be either Papaver rhoeas (corn poppy) or Papaver dubium (long-podded poppy), but I cannot see some details well enough to tell you. If you are able to get an image of the fruit later this season, I will be able to tell you which poppy you are photographing. Best wishes.
