My Los Angeles 78: California Poppies (Eschscholzia californica)

Our state flower shining brightly on our friends garden. 

This has been a great year for all flowers but especially our native plants like these. The “superbloom” is fading fast, but there are still these pockets of color to be found throughout the city.
