Dionaea Papaver cross?
Is this the result of a weird cross species polination of Dionaea muscipula (Venus flytrap) and Papaver nudicaule (Iceland Poppy)? Or is it a strange mutation of either species which has created this bizaare Audrey’ish mutation?
The truth is that this is in fact a regular Iceland Poppy. This bizaare looking photo was taken by Harold Davis in his backyard.

You are correct Jon. It is very naughty for an innocuous poppy to mascaraed as a carnivorous plant!
