Default Flower Identification

Hi all

Is there a general flower identification guide that anyone could recommend -
preferably online ? I have tried google but seem to get lots of wild flowers
and others which seem limited in scope ?

I am trying to identify a pinkish/purple flower, supeficially the shape of a
poppy, five petals to the fore, 4 just behind, giving 9 in total. The petals
are just over 2 inches in diameter, have a green central button surrounded
by numerous yellow err (anthers ?). They grown to between 4 and 5 foot high,
on a thin, cylindical, rigid, wire-like stem. The leaves vary a lot in size,
but the biggest are 6 or 7 inches across and shaped like a Maple leaf. They
are in flower at the moment - and have been for a few weeks or more.

many thanks
