Well sorry I've got no idea, but they sure are a stunning blue! No doubt someone will be along shortly to ID them for you

Hi
They are one of the Nemophila genus. North American annuals that come in a range of blues etc.
Probably self sown in the garden rather than coming with the poppies, unless the poppy seed came from the States

Hi John
Thank you very much. I have checked it out and you are absolutely spot on for the little pale blue flowers. Please have a closer look at the third and forth photos, because I think this is a completely different type of plant. The colour is much deeper. I am sorry my photography is so poor. It is more like a creeper, or cranesbill but the leaf is wrong. But thanks for your help. My Mum is delighted to know something about her new garden!! Goodness only knows how they got there as it was all grassed over. Thanks again.

The first plant is Baby-blue-eyes (Nemophila menziesii) and the second is California Bluebell (Phacelia campanularia) |

Phacelia tanacetifolia is grown in fields as a bee crop, so it's possible that some seeds got in with the poppies. You can see it around the Cotswolds. |
