Name this flower and you could win $5. Just post in this thread what you think it`s called.

it looks like a poppy to me

Well done eggshell66, the correct answer is the poppy, actually the Oriental Poppy, (Papaver orientale)

Clumps of big, bold, oriental poppies get early summer off to a cracking start. As the buds open, they reveal crumpled, translucent petals that unfurl into a striking cupped flower with a black centre.

Great guess eggshell66, well done.
