Long Prickly-head Poppy

Papaver argemone

Description:

Orange colored poppy about 20cm high, from a plant with deeply dissected pale green leaves.

Habitat:

Olive orchard on stony ground at perhaps 300m elevation.

Notes:

Close to the end of flowering. Is this Papaver hybridum or P. argemone ssp nigrotinctum? The inner part of the petals was slightly darkened, but not as much of illustrations of htis species show.
