Meadow Salsify, Tragopogon pratensis FataMorgana Here is a link that might be useful: wikipedia - Tragopogon pratensis

you may think it's an interesting plant, but it's still a weed... grows really big, and the side stems, touching the groud make roots and the seeds... i spend a lot of time trying to get these out of someone's garden... :D

Papaver somniferum, a breadseed/peony/opium poppy. Not a US wildflower - thought to be native to the mid and far east. Either someone dumped the seeds there or other poppies were growing there previously. They don't bloom in my area until midsummer.

not in this post ... but when you throw in the word wildflower ... you can confuse some peeps ... i think the term you wanted was .. rogue seedling ... these reseed themselves ... in a nice way ... for me anyway .. never too many ... easy to remove a plethora if you want to tame the area ... my version had exploding pods.. that the kids like to touch when ripe ... it was giggle fun ... ken
