I've done a bit of googling but can't seem to find a good source to ID poppies.

Looking for a name for this gal, who is very tall (3 feet at least), easily self-propogates, and has blooms about 6" wide. Sometimes a smaller, slightly paler bloom comes up without the black patches but maybe that's a different variety again?

Thought it was Raspberry Queen but am questioning the colour difference. Queen Alexandra? Princess Victoria Louise? Something else?

Thanks!

There are probably several possibilities, here's one:
Oriental Poppy (Papaver orientale 'Mrs. Perry')

and this one seems to be popular:
Oriental Poppy (Papaver orientale 'Princess Victoria Louise')
