garden, native flowers

I go away for a few days, and the garden has exploded into flowers - the wildflowers (largely poppies, but some penstemon and other things), and the always over-the-top matilija poppy.  The tree was deliberately planted as a tree, but all the wildflowers come from seeds that I throw around just before first rains with a great deal of optimism: optimism that seems to have paid off this year except in those patches where the soil became too hot, too early.
