Speaking of poppies...
Are you sure this is a poppy? It looks more like Trollius (commonly called
Globeflower) to me. I'm not familiar with Wood Poppy, but by what I could see on Google it has different foliage, and this flower looks exactly like all my Trollius. Still a nice photo, either way.

Speaking of poppies...
I think you're *right*, Radar. :-))
I do have a good many wood poppies (Stylophorum diphyllum) around the gardens, and since the foliage was so similar and the flowers exactly the same colour, I'd never looked more closely... even though what I've called a "double" version of the same plant until now is a much taller (18-30" as opposed to 12-20") and more robust plant.
