Urgent Help!!! What flowering shrub does this look to you?
http://f.imagehost.org/view/0847/P5030341
I am doing a report for my college enviro biology class and in a report we must find the taxonomic classifications for plants we photograph around campus
I apologize if this is a poor quality image, but the flowers have pink petals, and I think when they start to die they go orange (does that happen?) also some have a white eye that looks almost like another flower itself
Finally this was taken of a shrub
Please if you could tell me any specifics about it, at the moment i am leaning towards something of the poppy family but please help me!!!!
Thanks!
EDIT:
Bobby I realize poppies are not generally shrubs but the flowers certainly look like a member of the poppy family don’t you think?
