a plethora of poppies

I've always loved poppies. They come in beautiful colors with pretty frilly petals. I've tried many times to grow them but something always seems to thwart my efforts. 

This year seems to have been a good year. I've got three different kinds blooming:

 Papaver somniferum, "Breadbox" poppy

 Papaver rhoeas,
also known as the Remembrance poppy

Papaver romneya, "Matilija" poppy, a native to the California chaparral

Now I need to add in some California poppies.
