One of my very favorite California Native plants is the poppy. I love the way they grow indiscriminately, in the dirt, in the mulch, in the cracks of a driveway. If you toss some seed out in the fall you can ignore it, let the winter rains do its thing, and come spring, the poppies burst forth.

welcome spring
poppies welcome spring
flying saucers welcome spring

Poppies

flying saucers orbit yards
