  Flowers may look the same but the leaves of Iceland poppy are very different.

  punkdoc is correct.
  
  Welsh Poppy, Meconopsis cambrica.
  Except blinking name seems to have changed...now Papaver cambricum.

  Welsh poppies are prolific self seeders and have a tap root like a dandelion so can be difficult to remove when in a wrong place. Be vigilant about deadheading.

  It does have a very "weedy" look to the leaves but the flower makes up for it. Thanks for the tip on the tap root! And thanks all.
