Oriental Poppies

I have two types of oriental poppies in the garden. I don't know the formal names of either. One is a bright red the other a salmon pink. (Neither colour is a personal favourite but they are far enough away from my pink flowers to not clash.) The former is behind the bird bath, the latter by the trellis around the oil tank.

With all types of oriental poppy, when they have finished flowering cut flower stems and leaves to ground level which should result in more flowers later in the year.
