Years and years ago, some plants like those came up every year in the
back yard of my rented house in Berserkely, California.

During the People's Park riots, a group of Alameda County deputies
charged through the yard in an attempt to catch one of the demonstrators
but failed when he scaled the fence... they couldn't, too much gear on
them I guess.  Anyway, they noticed the flowers, inspected them and then
left.  

About a week later we were visited by the local police who said that
they were California Poppies and although probably planted legally
several years earlier, weren't legal anymore and had to be removed,
bulbs and all, and given to them.

Your plants look just like em.
