@kellyromanych A Matilija poppy? A sight for sore eyes...
@trisweb yup! This plant started as a runner from a very spindly specimen. It's well over 15x15 feet now. Dry farmed. Pretty sure the leafcutter & ground nesting bees use it as a nursery
@kellyromanych amazing. Can’t believe they’re blooming so early but thank you for sharing. Used to go hiking in Matilija canyon and they’re like home for me ☺️
@trisweb special delivery. I think this was last year?
@kellyromanych 😍😍😍 thank you!
