Unknown yellow flower?

Hopefully someone can give me a name for this plant as it is a mystery from my childhood and I would like a name for it?Here is what I know -





Grew about a foot high and had yellow petals.


In late summer,when the petals fell away it left a green oval shaped pod about 2cm long on the end of the stalk.


This pod then turned brown and hollow in autumn and had seeds inside it.If it was windy the pods would rattle in the wind.

Unknown yellow flower?
Sounds like Welsh Poppy to me. Here's a photo looking into the centre of the flower when the petals are open: http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/fun...
Reply:sounds like a poppy in every sense, apart from colour.

Reply:It sounds like a Californian poppy or a horned poppy but it could be quite a number of things. Definitely NOT a dandelion! (too tall and dandelion seedheads have little puffs of seeds on parachutes that get blown by the wind)
Reply:Can't think of the name either. Is it any of these?

Reply:Describe the petals, roughly how many were there and what shape were they? eg rounded like a rose, pointed like a daisy. And how big were the flowers? Were they scented? Can you remember what shape the leaves were? What shape were the flower pods, long and thin or short and fat?


The more detail you give the better!

Reply:Sounds like Daylilies to me. Although they do come in many colors, yellow is the most commonly planted. The bloom lasts only a day then the petals fall off. If you don't pick the pods off they eventually dry out in the fall turning brown, just as you said. That is why they are called daylilies, each flower that blooms lasts only a day.
