Thank you both for your very quick answers, but, whilst not wishing to upset either one of you, does a California Poppy have yellow flowers ?

[twirlgirl]

yes, bright yellow almost orange

[keyboardix]

Sorry, to have doubted your answers. I thought that poppies were all red, but, the California Poppy is obviously not, as I have just discovered from Google Images. So, many thanks, without qualification, this time !!!

I wouldn't have known if I hadn't googled it myself!
