If I had to pick one favorite #poppy, it might be this one: Romneya coulteri of the California Floristic Provence. Its big, blousy flowers are just fabulous… and I don’t use the F-word lightly. 😅 Petals crumpled in bud are characteristic of Papaveroideae. #Papaveraceae #CFP

@Scott_Zona For me, you can't beat the deep purple crumpled flowers of Roemeria hybrida. Photo by Manel on Flickr flickr.com/photos/manel/8…
@Scott_Zona Those surprisingly common up here roughly a thousand miles north of their habitat in colder & wetter climate. Somehow they adapt. Freeze back in winter but bounce right back from their rhizomes.
@Scott_Zona I absolutely love these blossoms which I’ve seen in California! They look like fried eggs.
