Plant or weed?

Hello
This plant has the head of a poppy but I can't find a match for it in a search .Don't recall seeing it last year, though it was probably buried under weeds! Any thoughts please?

No longer newish but can't think of a new name so will remain forever newish.  B)

    Weeds are plants.

    It certainly looks like a poppy, but l see what you mean about the leaves. Is this of any help?

    True, just in the wrong place, or, more correctly, not where we pesky humans want them to be ☺

    I've got two other types of poppy in totally different areas of the garden and it's nothing like either of them .I guess I may have to wait till it flowers and hope I spot it in time!

    It looks like the Welsh poppies that come up in my garden. In which case it will be yellow or maybe orange.

    How did you guess that?

    That’s my thought too

    I would say welsh poppy, I treat them as weed in my garden.

    Lovely! Will be harvesting the seeds to spread in dreary corners. Are they best just sown fresh or should I keep the seeds till spring?
