Orange California Poppy

Yet another solitary flower post. This time of one of my all-time favourites the orange California Poppy! (Eschscholzia californica)

I have fond memories from childhood of sliding off the little hoods that these flowers start with and then watching them open up. I planted seeds for this particular plant last year but not much happened. Then, all of a sudden in the last few weeks it threw out this single bloom so I figured I ought to capture it for posterity! As I said before, I’m not much of a gardener.
