Papaver orientale
Oriental poppies throw up a mound of finely cut, hairy foliage in spring. After flowering the foliage dies away entirely, a property that allows their survival in the summer drought of Central Asia. Late-developing plants can be placed nearby to fill the developing gap. Fresh leaves appear with autumn rains.

and thanks for deleting - I´ll upload once again
:)) I live in europe, most of the pics are from my tiny garden (a lot of species on 119 m^2), I was in singapore for the holidays - so I post some pics from there too.
one of your photos didn't load properly. hope you don't mind, I deleted the blank photo to bring the photo of the flower pic to be the first photo for your spotting.
Monkey-mind, I noticed you have a lot of pics from Singarpore and Europe. May I ask, are you from Singarpore? Or just do a lot of traveling?
posted it once, here are more pics
