  • Question

    This plant is on Prudence Island, RI in the sandy shore area. It is blooming now (June) and is about 3' diameter and 2' in height. Can you identify it please? Thank you.

    Answer

    Dear mgirard4, your plant is Glacium flavum (yellow horn-poppy), a non-native member of the Papaveraceae that is found here and there along the coastal plain in southern New England. Best wishes.
