Thomas Jefferson planted "Papaver Rhoeas flor. plen. double poppy" in a Monticello oval flower bed in 1807.
This is a horticultural variety of the common European field poppy, which was immortalized in Flanders during World War I. Corn Poppy is a hardy, self-seeding annual that bears single, red flowers in early summer.
