Giant Poppies

I have a large/giant sized specimen type poppy with extremely large orangy red flowers growing in my garden. It was transplaneted from my friends garden to mine about a year ago. It has florished this year. Last season it had in total about 7 flowers.
According to my friend it usually only carries about 6 or 7 blooms.
I Mine has 23 buds in total at the moment - it is only one plant!
Is this a rare occurence?
Thanks

    6 or 7 on the low side. 23 on the high side.It obviously likes your soil better.

    Thanks. It also never lost it's leaves during all the snow and cold weather we had and carried on right through till now. 
    I expected it to lose it's leaves in the winter.
