| | | Oriental Poppy?
Just a little something for you botanists suffering the withdrawal symptoms of plants this winter.
Is this oriental poppy?  |

I'm tempted to agree - it doesn't look right for Opium Poppy.
Have you any pics showing the leaves?
Regards

The flower stem looks too thin for the Oriental Poppy, I'm not sure though 
KT - if you can revisit the garden, have a look where the plant stood. The Oriental Poppy is a perennial and the leaves might be showing (they are in my garden), Opium Poppy will be long gone.

Do you remember how big the flower was - it sort of looks like a really intense coloured Corn Poppy to me.
I used to visit the dunes in that area when I was a teenager as I have relatives close by. I can remember spending one long day dragging my mother and an aunt over the dunes searching for Grass-of-Parnassus and eventually finding masses of it. Quote:
