Just realized I should be contributing to #BloomScolling
My matilija poppies (Romneya coulterii) in our front yard, a gorgeous flower native to the South Central coast of California. The blooms look like fried eggs.
Description: two photos, each showing an individual blossom, each c.10 inches in diameter, with a single layer of frilly white petals surrounding a deep yellow center. Both photos show many unopened buds of the same flower all around.

Matilija poppies (Romneya coulteri), also known as tree poppies, are lovely shrubby plants covered in huge white flowers with golden centers. They are native to California, and are a favorite here in Seattle gardens.

We’re gonna have temps below freezing tonight, but this #MatilijaPoppy, aka ‘fried egg poppy,’ seems to give no fucks.
