Do I have a genetic variable?

We have left the poppies to seed everywhere and this double came up this year from the last flower photoed?

OOH, that's really pretty! If it sets seeds, I'll trade you for some. That's a very nice clear pink you have there.

Hi there, I have a billzion poppy's and I do have some like this as well. I have a pretty purple one like this and a couple red. I was wondering if they are like an anenome type. I am going to save the seed and see if they come true. Very pretty. Heidi

Turned out very pretty. I think poppies are prone to do this kind of thing.

OK just wondered. I have never seen a double poppy.

I have a shaggy looking poppy that is a salmon color. I guess that can be considered a 'double', but I think yours is prettier. Yes, poppies hybridize easily.

Around here there are a lot of poppies that look almost like peonies or roses. Are those considered doubles or something else?

Someone recently gave me seeds of red and pink ones. (Not separated out, unfortunately.) I'm going to be germinating them for next year's master gardener plant sale. If they do well, I'll have lots to share at spring roundups!
