Shirley Poppy is the name given to an ornamental cultivar group derived from the European wild field poppy (Papaver rhoeas). Wikipedia. I have many poppies growing at random throughout the garden. They self seed and are a welcome sight during the late Spring and early Summer. I dispense seeds amongst the tulip beds to hide the vegetation, which can get ragged in appearance. Neena is always sniffing out the resident rabbit.
