When these plants with very heavy and coarse foliage appeared in my garden, I unprepared for it.  As always, I forget to label what I plant where!  But it looked like something that may make a flower so I left it.  It continued to grow, and soon oval balls were hanging off it on all sides.  Surely it is a flower.  One morning I found a pleasant surprise when I found the lovely red bloom and later identified it as a Corn or Flanders Poppy.  This picture will help give you an idea of poppy foliage should you be unfamiliar with it.
