Aye, I've had the Californian poppies in my garden (they are not actually poppies at all) and were various colours. Got the seeds from Morrisons. Welsh Poppies are all over the roadsides and woodland at the moment here, some are yellow and some are orange. I don't think they are a true poppy either, hence being edible. My torts didn't eat either of them though

The welsh poppy is papaver Cambria and the flowers are usually yellow. But just to add to the confusion you do get some plants that produce orange flowers. The California poppies are annuals whilst the welsh poppy is a perennial.

Here are two photos from the garden, one is welsh poppy with yellow flower and the other is welsh poppy with orange flower. Sorry the orange one has a load of other plants in it, but you get the idea
