Can anyone tell me what this plant it? It was not in the garden last year and i have no idea where it has come from. I liked the look of the leaves so let it grow and it just kept on growing and growing. It now stands 4 foot tall has numerous flower heads and the flower stalks have fine thorns on them that you may just be able to make out from the picture. I hope someone out there can help me out and identify it.

Just a guess. The leaves look like a plant called Elephant Ear. I'm not sure if that plant blooms. Yours seems to be making a purple flower. It's beautiful and quite large. Where do you grow it?

This is one of the Opium Poppies.
The seeds can survive in the ground for years and will germinate when you dig the ground and bring the seeds to the surface.
They have attractive papery flowers - usually pink or red
