Specialty Gardening: Anyone know anything about Poppy plants?, 1 by beckygardener

I received some seeds in a trade in the Fall and threw them out in one of my garden beds. Well, the seeds germinated and I now have some beautiful poppies that are all starting to bloom. I have never grown poppies before and know very little about them or even what cultivar of poppy I have. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My questions:

1) Can anyone ID the cultivar of my poppy as shown in the photo?

2) Is this poppy an annual or perennial? I am in zone 9b/10a.

3) Does a poppy plant re-bloom if the wilting flowerhead is pruned off? Or do they just bloom once and then the plant starts making a seed pod and then dying. I have noticed on mine that they have more than one bud forming on each plant. Is that typical?
