Can anyone identify this plant.

Just hold your phone over the flower and it will identify it
Parsley3 Many thanks for that! Sounds like just what the doctor ordered.
Now all I've got to do is get to know how to use my new phone!
Thank you.

How lovely that all these self seeded poppies are in your gardens.
You can blow the seed heads my way.

They are everywhere here mostly the yellow ones. Lovely cheerful plants.
They re- seed freely but if you try to dig them up they have deep roots.

I have them too but have always called them Icelandic Poppies. I also have huge pink poppies like Chewbacca. I thought I had planted snowball turnips in that raised bed and was very surprised when the foliage appeared -it looked nothing like turnips, So I now have a brilliant display of Poppies, which I am told by a friend are Opium poppies!!! I am expecting the Drug Squad any day

I have Welsh poppies growing wild in my garden too. They are lovely. I use an app called SEEK when I am out to identify plants, trees etc. It is easy to use. Just hold your phone over the flower and it will identify it.

They are so beautiful and poppies, I think.

Good Evening:
"Shazam for Flowers"

I've just learned that several Apps exist for identifying flowers and shrubs whereby you take a picture of whatever with your smartphone and it's identified from a huge library; similar to Shazam and tunes! Several apps exist for Apple and Android.
Has anyone tried this? Sounds like the answer to my prayers!

Yes its a wild poppy, you see them in orange too. Very pretty though even though its a weed

I've got some of these poppies that have just suddenly appeared under the hedge in my front garden. Obviously blown in or bird dropped and self planted but I'm happy they did. I've seen worse weeds!

I've got a little space at the bottom of my garden taken over by these sweet little poppies the colours are delightful

I ve got lovely lovely Californian poppies all over the garden

I've always understood that it's a Welsh poppy. They crop up everywhere and I don't begrudge them a space in my garden as they are a cheerful spot of colour and they don't spread underground like buttercups do.

Yep, Welsh poppy!

I was also going to say its a welsh poppy. They grow all over our garden too.
When our DD started school they were to draw something yellow (and presumably the other colours too)
She drew that yellow poppy and got told no it was wrong - poppies are red!

How annoying is that.

Islandic Poppy? Have yellow & orange ones here. Lovely and colourful in a shaded corner.

Yes Chewbacca is spot on, Welsh Poppy. I prefer the orange ones which are lovely. They will appear everywhere if you let them but they can make a cheery display if controlled. Dead head regularly and they keep producing all Summer.

Thank you Chewbacca. I think they look far from common!

We are both right Chewbacca !

Thank you for all the suggestions, I seem to remember my Mum calling them Poppies. Will look it up on Google.

It's the Common Welsh Poppy (Papaver cambricum)

Mecanopsis cambrica or Welsh poppy. They appear everywhere if you let them seed. Pretty though.

Alima, that depends on whether it's already shed some of its seeds. Looking at your photograph it does look as though some of the seedpods are already empty so it's possible they've already been cast to the 4 winds. But nevertheless, the seeds are absolutely miniscule, like black dust, and are very easily distributed by the wind so could blow into your garden from elsewhere. Even if you pull this plant up, the chances of seeds being blow into your garden again, or deposited by birds, is highly likely. But they have a shallow root system and are easy to pull out if you don't want them. I quite like them!

Having said that, it looks as though the plant has seed heads of a poppy.

Googles not always right but it says Creeping buttercup.
Type it in google and have a look.

We have some beautiful wild poppies in our garden this year. I haven't been allowed out to buy plants so we are grateful for the colour.
I did have some pansy seeds which I planted in a seed tray. I had gathered the seed heads last year because the flowers had been so pretty and kept them in a paper bag. Two tomato plants mysteriously appeared in with the pansies! I have planted them out in the garden and hope for the best.
