Eschscholzia californica

A fancy #caterpillar is eating this California #poppy. #eschscholziacalifornica #californiapoppy #orange #pest #southerncalifornia 1 June 2024

Good pic!! 🧡 But that caterpillar seems easy pickings given the contrast in colours = highly visible for predators… #WildlifeWednesday

Thank you, Katie. He was very obvious for sure. @brightcolours

🧡 always been a favorite. I've seen the California countryside covered in these before.... yeeeears ago before!

Can I come to a FIX

I agree @gjones ❤️

@lesliecole49, yes years ago they were everywhere. So beautiful.

@grantham, yes, but what is a 'FIX'?

@lovestogarden it's slang for my dose of drugs as you have the poppy

Oh, 😂. You naughty. @Grantham

The California Poppies have started blooming at home. #eschscholziacalifornica #notmyphoto #california-poppy #alyssum #alyssumroyalcarpet #southerncalifornia 9 March 2021

Mark, thank you for asking. We are all fine. I rather like this 'stay put' order as I have been getting many things accomplished in the garden. God has been keeping my family and I safe. Thank you. You have been keeping safe too I pray. 😷💕 @maldavis

Wow! Orange is my favorite color and this is my new favorite shade! It almost looks like its glowing! 😍

Love these Janice! What a great photo 😍

It looks even more so in person, @doctaboogie, but my camera was just shy of capturing it. ❣️
