Great pic! Most of the California poppies have gone dormant here in southern California already.

Thanks Delonix.
They're hardier than I've given them credit for in the past - some self seeders survived the last winter here.

Meanie:

Yes, CA poppies are very hardy. They grow up into the foothills of the Sierra Mountain Range.
