Another Plant To Identify Please ....

[Ann]

Further to my "Please identify" thread in Chatterbank last night, I now have another puzzle to solve - this time for my neighbour please. This plant is about 3 feet high with a very thick woody stem like a shrub but instead of flowers I see they are bracts with a yellow stamen - very strange.
He would love to know what it is please, I have taken several photos of it.

Yes! Thanks very much Hammerman, that is it! Well done .....I must tell him quickly as it's poisonous and they are childminders ..........
Any chance now of identifying the plant in my garden too please?
