Many years ago I grew a beautiful perennial which had pale orange/salmon delicate crinkled petals, more than four, and belonged to the Poppy family. The flower stalks were about 21/2' high and the flowers opened up most of the length of them. Seed was from Thompson and Morgan. It reminded me a bit of a Welsh Poppy. MyCytissus battandieri tree gradually shaded it, and a pear tree cut it off from even a little sun. One year I sprayed the pear with a copper spray and neglected to put a tarp over my orange flowered beauty and, sad to say, it died.
However, it enjoyed early summer sun, although, since I live in the Pacific North West, spring is not a dry season. (Zone 8 with prayer).
Does anyone have an idea what this plant is. I would love to replace it in my garden.
Thanks, Anna
