Papaver nudicaule (syn. Papaver croceum, P. miyabeanum,[2][3] P. amurense, and P. macounii), the Iceland poppy,[4] is a boreal flowering plant. Native to subpolar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia[5] (but not in Iceland), Iceland poppies are hardy but short-lived perennials, often grown as biennials, that yield large, papery, bowl-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers supported by hairy, one foot, curved stems among feathery blue-green foliage 1-6 inches long. They were first described by botanists in 1759. The wild species blooms in white or yellow, and is hardy from USDA Zones 3a-10b. All parts of this plant are likely to be poisonous,[6] containing (like all poppies) toxic alkaloids. In particular, P. nudicaule has been shown to contain the benzophenanthidine alkaloid, chelidonine.[7] It also contains (+)-amurine, (-)-amurensinine, (-)-O-methylthalisopavine, (-)-flavinantine and (-)-amurensine.[8]

I call this Petal-Art.
The strip-tease.
They curve and twist in a gorgeous way.
I have wild yellow poppies in the garden, they are the most ephemeral of flowers.
Everything has to be ready before you bring them in, bang, a few photographs, put them in water, in no time the pretty heads are hanging.
Then the petals start their final dance, they curve and twist in a gorgeous way.
The colour changes from yellow to ochre to orange...
When I came in the next morning, the petals had dropped off and the seed-box and stamens stood naked.
Ending with a golden firework!
Wishing you all the best and thank you, M, (*_*)
