This is the center of an opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) flower, with dozens of anthers dusting the inside of the red petals with pollen. Photographed at the botanical garden of Fort Bragg, California.

Flowering Desert Pepperweed (also Desert Alysum; Lepidium fremontii) and Desert Fir (also Schott's Pygmy Cedar; Peucephyllum schottii... and it is neither a fir nor a cedar of course 🤪 but rather, in the sunflower family, Asteraceae!) with some Arrowweed, growing out of the cracks and crevices in a rock at Joshua Tree National Park. For #FlowerFriday and such!
