Not being the yellow-orange that you'd expect a poppy in these parts to be, this does rather stand out. For all of that, it proved rather elusive to photograph, despite bringing both a camera and a cell phone to bear on its distinctiveness. I think that when I threw out handfuls of seeds at the end of last year, some were for "California Wild Flowers," and even if the ones that make it through are habitually the Californian poppies, these are staking a claim to our Los Angeles meadow, too.
