Eschscholzia Californica Magnets

Selected as the State flower of California in 1890 Hardy Annuals ... if you've collected seeds from them it's not too late to sow them this year for next year's crop or alternatively wait until the spring next year. Mostly they are yellows and oranges, but occasionally a pink or red one may appear amongst them. These are several thousand miles away from California.

I'm not sure how this has turned out in the colours it has, but this is how it's come off the memory card.
