Unidentified Flowering Plant



Can anyone tell me what this plant it? It was not in the garden last year and i have no idea where it has come from. I liked the look of the leaves so let it grow and it just kept on growing and growing. It now stands 4 foot tall has numerous flower heads and the flower stalks have fine thorns on them that you may just be able to make out from the picture. I hope someone out there can help me out and identify it.

You are so lucky, that's Papaver somniferum, the Breadseed Poppy. I love them & am trying to grow them from seed for the 1st time. Enjoy & let it self sow.
