Welsh Poppy (Papaver cambricum 'Flore Pleno')

The Welsh Poppy, *Papaver cambricum*, is native to **Western Europe**. More specifically, its natural range includes:

* **Wales (hence the name)**
* **Southwest England**
* **Ireland**
* **Western France**
* **Spain**
* **Portugal**

While widely cultivated and naturalized in other areas, its origin is clearly rooted in the **Atlantic fringe of Western Europe**.

The cultivar ‘Flore Pleno’ is a double-flowered form of the species, and while it originated through cultivation, its genetic heritage is still derived from the wild *Papaver cambricum*.
