Default Can you identify this plant, please?

It comes up annually but in the past two years, since we've lived here,
it hasn't presented anything other than the leaves shown in this photo.
It grows to a height of about six feet. Because of the colour, shape,
and nature of its leaves, it doesn't look right where it is.

Is it of any value?

There's a picture of it he

Many thanks,


Appears to be plume poppy (Macleaya cordifolia).

Note that plume poppy doesn't look like other poppies (even less so than
greater celandine), the inflorescence having an appearance reminiscent
more of rhubarb.
