Papaver rhoeas - Shirley Poppy

I got my first Shirley Poppy seeds as an enticement for a magazine subscription.  The seed packet said they were red poppies.  However, I have gotten white, pink, orange, peach and bicolor poppies.  They bloom for a short while starting in mid-June, and will reseed if you let them.  They grow 2¾'-3½' tall in my garden.
