I think you're right! But I also didn't think either one should be blooming now/still - it's been a very strange year plant wise - also, these California poppies don't look anything like the packages of California poppies I've been buying as seeds....hmmm is there more than one kind of California poppy? the other more similiar to other poppy varieties in leaf structure, seedhead, and blooms?

PKponder, that ID looks right to me. Thank you. It seems to be a great plant. I flipped the picture 180 degrees on my phone now to see if it flips it right side up. Let's see...

jekeesl, I think that's it. It is said that it's used in Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, but I don't think I will keep them. The strange thing is that they only invade the flower beds in the front and nowhere else.
