It isn’t California poppy; those have very smooth, silky petals. I think it’s something in the Oriental poppy family.

My Russian would eat a little of this in her native diet, so I’d offer it. But Oriental poppy varietels are usually reported as a DO NOT FEED. If you are a new owner, or not comfortable in the garden, I suggest skipping it entirely.

The other one I don’t know; hopefully someone else will.

That is if plantain is the same as weegbree. You have "smalle weegbree" and "brede weegbree".

Big Pond? OK. This is out of my league now.
Strictly a Caribbean girl here.

Thanks everyone!!
So can I call it a plantain weed then? I'm in central Alberta. Still can't seem to find out if I can feed it or not?
