Welsh Poppy - Papaver cambricum

The Welsh Poppy – Meconopsis cambrica but now known as Papaver cambricum – is a perennial flowering plant with yellow to orange flowers native to upland Western Europe and has been used since 2006 as the basis for the logo of the Welsh political party Plaid Cymru. It prefers damp shady places on rocky ground and will live happily in crevices between paving slabs, edges of walls and rocky outcrops. This lovely yellow one was seen at Martin Mere.
