Solved Is this a rogue Welsh poppy?

This has popped up in a border in the last week or so. Is it a Welsh poppy? Seems a little late in the year. Just like to put a name to things thanks.

 

I’d say yes, looks like a Meconopsis Cambrica to me.

 

I thought it looked like an aconite.

 

I agree, Welsh poppy. I have a few flowers at the moment. They did their main flowering weeks ago.

 

They do flower on and off till late October here. What you might have there is a seed from an early flower getting going quickly, instead of waiting till next spring. The damp cool summer will have helped.

 

Definitely Welsh poppy. They've been flowering since spring here. I have lots of them dotted around as they seed easily.
Very useful little plants

 

I have the orange ones @shiney - single flowered, but I collected some seed from yellow ones to add to the mix. I must get around to sowing them!

 

We have lots of single yellow and very few orange ones. I wonder if the orange are less vigorous? I let them all go to seed but never seem to get more than a handful of orange. I do get sone yellows with a splash of orange on the odd petal, so maybe the yellow gene is more dominant?

Lovely cheerful flowers
