Pretty Flower, but what is it?

Morning!  Does anyone know the name of this flower?  It has leaves akin to the carrot family and as you can see the flowers are a vibrant orange.  I think it's a weed as this year it has self-sown in a number of places but it gives such a splash of colour to the garden, so it is quite welcome in my garden.
A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    California poppies  :)
    I forget the proper name - Escholtzia possibly
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Some people don't like them, but I agree - they're a nice burst of colour  :)
    Have a good weekend too  :)

    I like them too @Fairygirl but it took me ages to convince a friend that they were NOT the same plant as Welsh poppies. I still don't think she quite believes me yet. Have a good weekend both.
