ID of another blue flower please

[BILLy]

As tittle please, it was hanging around with bluebells and ramsons wild garlic in an old sand quarry.
Also what looks like poppy but not sure

Cheers

The blue flower looks like the Spanish Bluebell.

 

[Harvestman]

I agree with Ecoman on the bluebell, and the poppy looks like a garden variety of some sort.

 

[BILLy]

Thanks guys, I've now found the other plant is a Welsh poppy 😄and you both right it's a Spanish Bluebell
Cheers

Very orange for a Welsh Poppy, which is normally yellow. I've never seen them that colour before, but it could be a domesticated garden variety I suppose.

True, it's the only one close to it I could find really, and maybe the light doesn't show it in its true colour. I stand corrected if you know of what it actually is 👍

Its a Californian Poppy Billy - they are invasive and rampant self seeders

Thanks Red
Was kind of hoping it was a welsh one as it would of been easier for me to remember, but thx for putting me straight on it, California it is then.

Red, is the leaf foliage on the Californian poppy the same as the welsh poppy?

 

[British Red]

Not certain Billy (don't know Welsh poppies well) - that vivid orange is a pretty safe indicator to me around here - I have been wrong before though!

 

[British Red]

Just been to check and you are correct - the foliage is wrong for both Californian and Icelandic poppies - sorry - my mistake

The Welsh poppy is sometimes orange, but it's centre is always yellow. They grew orange in my Uncle's garden in Wrexham.

Towards the bottom of this page is the clearest illustration I can find online.

Interesting! As this one was in a disused sand quarry, do you think its colour pigment could of been influenced by the sand?
Thanks for all the replies guys.
