Welsh Poppy

Now the bluebells are dying down ,the Welsh Poppy seems to pop-up in the garden with its bright yellow flowers !

Researched info especially for Pat @happypat and Maggiemae @maggiemae

The Welsh Poppy -- Meconoposis Cambrica is a perennial plant in the Poppy family . It has yellow to orange flowers and is widely grown as a garden plant

It is one of the national flowers of Wales Carl Linnaeus named it after the Welsh -- Papaver Cambrica in 1753.-- Cambria being the Latin Name for Wales ( Cymru in Welsh ) Later in 1814 the yellow poppy was reclassified differently as a new species Meconopsis Cambrica by Lois Vigueir .

The Welsh Poppy has been used since 2006as the basis for a logo for the Welsh National political party "Plaid Cymru "
