Is this a poppy?

Jun 14, 2012 4 Replies

In the autumn of 2010 I planted different types poppy seed that I'd forgotten to plant earlier in the year.


They didn't flower last year, I imagine because I'd sewn them too late. All of my seedlings and plants were kept in the greenhouse to grow and I hadn't labelled any of them.


We planted them out in the ground in March and they've done really well. But I'm a little confused because I was sure they were all poppies, but one particular plant doesn't look like the rest. It has strange buds on that I don't recognise.


Can someone confirm if this is a poppy or something else?

transplanted.

Achillea millefolium, common yarrow, most likely.

Good identification!

I'm reading up about it now.

Thank you! I'll be looking it up right now!
