The generic Flanders poppies in my Memorial Day flower bed are starting to come in here in upper East TN. One of the plants is bearing red poppies with the usual outer petals, and inner petals scrolled or rolled, like the petals of a seashell cosmos.

This is only my second year growing poppies, so I do not know a lot about them. In my limited experience I've seen double and pom-pom types, but never scrolled.

I'm not much of a photographer, but here is my attempt at a photo. The plant just started flowering, but with the weather has lost a bit of its perkiness. The plant has lots more buds. Will try to get better photos as they open.

Weather here has been rainy and cloudy, little sun for weeks. Apologies if the garden looks a bit rangy, I plead the weather as my excuse.

Thanks in advance for any information!
