    It's definitely a Papaver (poppy).

    Because of the "shredded" look of the petals I would say it's Papaver somniferum 'Naughty Nineties' http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/56550/

    But there are a few different ones that it could be. I got a couple from a fellow gardener, but they are difficult to transplant, hopefully they come back up next year.

    It is a poppy, but I don't know the cultivar.

    It's not really valid to assign cultivar names to what are likely self-seeded plants, and all kinds of variations will show up among seedlings.
