A field of bright orange California poppies ( Eschscholzia californica ), designated
our state flower in 1903, is a joy to behold. They grow wild all over the state and
should be started from seed and allowed to reseed every year.
Unfortunately, this poppy has been almost completely devoured by this worm
or caterpillar!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Muza-chan...not quite as spectacular as your cherry blossoms, though.
DeleteLovely photos!!
ReplyDeleteI do love those bright cheery poppies. They come in other colors but the orange appeal to me most.
DeleteWow, such a sunny bright color!
ReplyDeleteLovely photos (and even the worn will live... )
Greetings from Germany :-)
It's nice that the poppies grow wild almost everywhere, reseeding themselves. They close up as the sun sets, though.
DeleteWhat a happy color! Great shots, Carmen.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Dina, I enjoyed looking at your blog and finding out you're a Georgia girl as am I....been in San Fran 35 years now, though.
DeleteBright and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deepak....our state flower is really so nice...wish it didn't close up at night, though.
