This has grown in really thick among perennials I WS and planted out last year which makes me think maybe its seeds off one of the things I planted last year. I had some clasping coneflower in there but pulled those all out. Also in the area is blanket flower, shasta daisy, hollyhock, etc.

| Top photo; upper left I see daisy, think the thick patch in center is your gaillardia, Center; clump on left looks like corn poppies (papaver rhoeas), or another annual self-sowing type, clump on the right looks like it might be centaurea cyana, or bachelor buttons, & the bottom pic is a poppy, papaver orientale, guaging by the foliage. No guarantee I'm 100% correct but thanks, it's always fun to ID plants! |

| Photo 1 - yes, that's shasta daisy in the upper left but I am asking about the lighter green stuff in the middle of the photo. Photo 2 - if memory serves me, these are only two clumps of which there are several, in random places not near any blanket flower I planted, and I am almost 100% they are the same plant, as are the other random clumps not pictured. |

| In pic one the leaves in the upper left look to me like ox eye daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare, rather than Shasta, Leucanthemum x superbum. The bottom pic shows oriental poppy foliage. |

| Update - I pulled out most of the stuff in photo 1 but kept a clump and think it might be balloon flower or the clasping coneflower. I will try to post an updated photo. Photo 2 turned out to be bachelor buttons. My husband's grandma was out there with me asking what it was and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Bachelor Buttons - duh! I had to pull them all out almost as soon as they started blooming because they get so tall and gangly and fell everywhere. Now I remember why I hated them before. Photo 3 was the large orange poppies with the black center. I'm totally in love. I wonder if they are perennial. There is also one other poppy that is a light pink/white that is pretty. |

| Your poppies look like Oriental poppies, in which case they are perennial. |

| I had a nice "Oriental Poppy" surprise last year (where did this come from? - I 'll take it!) and this year is even better as the plant either has grown larger or self seeded.ENJOY!!! |
