Will it grow back next year if you yank it up Chewbacca? Like forget me not?

Poppy. Self seeds. Easy to pull up if it's growing somewhere that you don't want it.

Possibly dropped by birds?

I get them in my garden and always thought they were the same as what Whitewave said.

What a timely post. Sorry, don’t know the answer but we have an orange version of what looks to be the same. Didn’t plant it, appeared this year, how? There is a sole yellow one in the other border.

Could it be a wild poppy? The picture isn't very easy to tell. There were a lot of yellow and orange poppies in my previous garden - they're a bonus or a curse, depending where they pop up!

Yellow poppy. Not sure if it’s botanical name. It is a weed I suppose but what a lovely one?.

I had a very old country Aunt who said the sap cured warts.

I am not sure if this is a wild flower, it has been in our garden for years and pops up all over the place. I have tried to find in plant identifiers without any success. I would be grateful if someone could help me out.
