These poppies are all over my back yard, and I assumed they were the California poppy since that’s pretty common in Seattle landscapes, but upon closer inspection the seed pods and leaves don’t seem to match:
The closest match I can find online appears to be some rather obscure species from Russia, Papaver popovii:
Does anyone know anything about this species? I was thinking I might collect some seeds for my next batch of bagels but can’t seem to find anything about whether all poppyseeds are edible or only certain species.
edit: There’s one other species (Spanish poppy, P. rupifragum) that looks pretty similar, so not sure which one this is, or if it’s some other species. Never realized how many species of poppy there are until now!
