That is a Prickly Poppy (Argemone polyanthemos), There are 15 different species of the plant throughout the US, but I think the one we have in the midwestern region is the Crested Prickly Poppy (Argemone polyanthemos). There is your wildflower lesson of the day! 🙂

  I actually have no idea, except it looked like a weed to me. But it is pretty, eh.

Pretty…weed or no weed. Nice to know, though, that it’s a wildflower for its own sense of pride. 🙂
