First Oriental poppy of the season in my Seattle garden

Seattle, WA(Zone 8b)

About 18 blooms on this one plant, and I have several more of various varieties around the yard -- not just Papaver Orientale, but Papaver somniferum and some Icelandic ones, too. Anyway, I can't recall what this one is, but this flower is about 6 inches across -- lovely coral pink...

Jeeem, that look like Queen Alexander. Very nice. Mine should bloom any day now. Currently have three diffrent ones blooming. Even have one blooming from seed that fell about 18" from mother plant.

Pittsford, NY(Zone 6a)

It is an Oriental for sure and I agree with Queen Alex.
My first one was this morning.
