Here's a small, fragile little beacon of hope! I'd forgotten when I planted poppy seeds just before the first rain that I hadn't just planted California orange poppies, but a whole lot of mixed poppies, too. It looks as though there are plenty of poppy leaves thickening on the bank: it remains to be seen if they actually flower, of course - but this (and her two friends, and crawling precariously up the steep bank to take this photo, I found there were a whole lot more buds in this particular clump) is a wonderfully cheering sight.
