    Hello all
    I have a couple of these plants in my flower box but I have no idea what they are. Anyone recognise them please?

      She's right.

      I grow the 'white linen' variety which self seeds, but sometimes I get gold ones like yours. Straight on the compost heap! (I hate yellow)

        They're Orange TS! LOL

        One of my customers has them too - and they seed through from next door, so I'm always ripping them out, as she hates them. They seem quite prolific.

                I'll gladly save you some seed, but it will be mixed, some cream some yellow, I mean orange

                    'Posh' name Eschscholzia, T&M do some called 'Jelly beans' which are doubles & come in a variety of colours but I think the single orange ones are the nicest (sorry T.S. !) I'm not a big fan of orange myself but I think these are pretty, I've tried growing them myself & I know they're supposed to self-seed etc. but mine died off & now I've got loads of Welsh poppies which are similar & come in shades of yellow & orange & spread everywhere, lucky I like them!

                      Nicos, I brought a packet of mixed that have come through predominantly orange with a few whites for luck (im pretty sure I saw a dusky pink but they get eaten by something before they even open!) so go for the packet too if you want heaps of them.

                        Nicos, I've some saved seed from my orange ones (called 'Mikado' I believe) so PM me if you'd like some.

                        I've also just taken some from my pale pink ones if anyone would like that colour.
