    Do you usually stake your poppies @wiseowl ?
    I'm wondering if it's something to do with stress on the stems, l'm sure I've read that somewhere, but not 100% certain.

        It looks like Botrytis blight which Oriental poppies can suffer from in wet summers.
        They can also suffer from downy mildew, I know Beth Chatto stopped selling them because of this.
