I had a few Poppies that have been growing near the front door for a few years that must have blown in from around town. I have always loved them so I bought a package and sprinkled more seed near the others as well as along the south side of the house. And once again the package didn't have the scientific name, so I will have to wait for them to bloom to determine what they are.

A hardy perennial in cooler areas, this plant is usually short-lived or even treated as an annual in climates where winters are warm. Early spring flowers sit atop stiff, hairy stems and coarse divided leaves. By mid-summer, plant has dwindled and gone dormant, only to reappear with new foliage in the fall. Flowers are bold and bright in shades of pink, red, white and orange. source
