It looks like the beginnings of a Poppy ?

Looks more like Japanese Anemone, Anemone hupehensis.

I present to you:


They don't look exactly identical, but could be, I don't know ?

Anemone yes.... the seed capsule.
So you could say it is the end of the season.

Checking back the second shot that I provided was from early October.

They bloom late summer/early fall
Japanese Anemone (Eriocapitella hupehensis)

What is throwing me off is the lack of leaves showing in the pic...
Lots of different anemone...
When I look at the seedheads in first post, I think thimbleweed, (Anemone virginiana).

The Anemone virginiana is better behaved than the spready japanese anemone...

Looking to see if above plant is colonizing from the roots should help to rule some plants out / in...

I believe that Anemone Coronaria is much shorter in stature than the plant under discussion.

Thinking "horses vs Zebras", hupehensis seems much more likely in England.

In UK I have never seen or heard about Anemone virginiana...although a few nurseries do list it.
Where as there are several named Japanese Anemone ....Anemone hupehensis being just one. Another is Anemone x hybrida.
