Can anyone identify this flower?

I'm looking for help identifying this flower. Any help is appreciated. Before you check the picture, keep in mind it is NOT plastic, contrary to the answers I received last time around. It's growing in my backlane and is just about a foot across ... it's a huge flower. It's also not a poppy, according to every source I've checked. Apparently the leaves are all wrong.

Beyond that, I haven't a clue.

I would desire to disagree with the guy who pronounced that that's a hydrangea - hydrangeas have plenty larger leaves, and are often the two crimson or blue, finding on the soil wherein they're planted; i've got blanketed a link to a competent photograph of hydrangeas under. That being pronounced, i do no longer comprehend what that's - notwithstanding curiously healthful, so i'd say basically keep doing despite you're already doing!

It is a Poppy .... ( Paver )
You'll have to do a bit of searching the Paver name to find the exact " Cultivar , But it is Definately a Poppy ...
