A single golden orange California poppy emerges through its own green leaves as well as brown eucalyptus bark and leaves. The poppy is fully open and a very bright orange on a sunny day. Poppy leaves resemble carrot leaves. San Luis Obispo, California, February 2026

Since our California poppies are already starting to bloom, I'm going to have a supply of orange for a while! 🧡
