Thank you.
The reason I reckon it ssp. somniferum is that according to Flora Europaea:
ssp. somniferum : 8-12 ( -18 ) stigmatic rays
ssp. setigerum : 5-8 stigmatic ray
and the specimen on my pic has 10 stigmatic rays.

I had the same problem John, and actually you can be right, though I have witnessed large specimens of subsp. segiterum with a max of 10 rays!
