I managed an amazing 5 hours (that never happens with 2 children) in the garden today, still clearing leaves, cut plants back, general tidy up.
I found this plant, I'm wondering if it is a poppy ?
Does anyone have any ideas (I'm sure you do, you're always fab), thank you.

Looks a bit like one - and it's got the little hairs - I'd wait and see

something more like a scabious maybe? I don't see poppy there.
In the sticks near Peterborough
Does scabious easily seed ? I planted one nearby last autumn, would it be from that maybe ??
Everything seeds easily
especially weeds
Did you have any Knautia macedonica

Don't think so nutcutlet, I have scabiosa pink mist.
Could be fleabane
I was thinking of a big dark orangey/brown blowsy floppy oriental poppy a friend (now moved) used to grow - I'm sure the leaves looked like the pic ... but I may well be wrong
