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.

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