Are these poppies?

[DavetheCat2001]

Coming through?

Might be - they look very like my California poppy seedlings.

My poppies don't look anything like that!

I scattered loads of poppy seeds about earlier this year and I'd say yours look pretty similar to my seedlings. If you have poppies elsewhere in the garden chances are they've self seeded, assuming you've not sown them.

My other poppy seedlings (papaver somniferum) look nothing like these, but California poppies are a different species (eschscholzia).

Nope! Looks like grass to me

Look like Californian poppy (escolzia) seedlings to me. Beautiful plant.

Thanks all. I did scatter a load of seeds everywhere and have completely forgotten what was what!

Californian Poppies sounds familiar..fingers crossed!

I went to look at my California poppy seedlings for comparison, and found that the snails had eaten nearly all of them. Ho hum.

Oh no! Bastard snails

Yes, they've been very hungry in the last few days and have eaten the cornflowers and cosmos too. Grr.

Grasses are monocots, so come through initially with a single seed leaf (cotyledon). These are paris of forked cotyledon, therefore a dicot. This picture clinches the id:

Congrats to Ibiza for getting the spelling right. I can't think of any other word or plant names with "schsch" in the middle.

Thank you, Dint. It makes up for misspelling teasel on the other thread!

Ibiza Was it you who did the teazle? It's always just as you hit post that you spot your fingers haven't typed what your brain told them to. And life's too short for preview.

There's a new housing estate near us called "Teasle". Drives me mad!

I didn't start it, I just mimicked the spelling in an earlier post without engaging brain. I'm usually pretty good at horticultural spelling - years of labelling things for plant sales - but teasel has always been my Achilles heel, so to speak!

They look like what my california poppy seedlings looked like too OP.

It was me teasing you all with ‘Teazle’

(neither very teasel-like)
