| The little dunce cap is actually a sepal |
The first of the California poppies have begun opening. They're common native wildflowers throughout the west coast, but not a one grew on our own hillsides.
Every year I buy bags of seed and scatter them freely wherever the mood suits. Most don't sprout -- I think that the competition from weeds and wild grasses is too great. However, each spring I discover more areas where the poppies have managed to gain a foothold. Orange is slowly spreading out amongst the green.
