Despite the name, the petals of the red poppy can vary from white to pink to red. Like its cousin the white prickly poppy, it is a species of open areas, overgrazed fields, and weedy areas, but it rarely forms large solid patches like that species. It ranges from South Texas, where particularly common, to the Trans-Pecos.
