I have had allot of different poppies in my garden this summer, so I will put some of them up on my blogg.
These poppies are so different with their curly petals.
Their name is Peony poppy, a poppy that is filled and looks almost like a peony.

The stem is furrowed and pale hair. The leaves are scattered off and stalked (stalk leaves are however nonstalked). Basic leaves is inversely ovoid with round serrated or rough serrated edge, while the stem leaves are line-or lancet-shaped, with flaps to the toothed rim. The surface is grass green and the underside is light green.
