Unrecognised plant

Hello all,

I hope 2023 is treating you with kindness.  Last year I grew various hardy annuals in pots, and happily some have self-seeded.  However the plant in the photos below has also appeared and it is yet another plant I am unable to recognise.  It is 30-40cm tall and has red hairs on it and things which might be seed pods.  The sheet of A4 paper and the pencil will hopefully provide some scale.  Many thanks in advance if anyone is able to recognise it.

    It's a poppy I believe. Those are flower buds and not seed pods.

    Definitely poppy.  I can't be more specific.
