CA poppy leaves in the rain

IMG_0885_zpseec07699

I love how the rain drops decorate the poppy leaves. The CA poppies in my garden are perennials and these are embedded in the shadiest part of my garden. Even when there are no blooms, I find the fronds provide another type of beauty. Better still, they are essentially drought tolerant and do not need extra watering.

  1. I enjoy your blog so much. It's hard to find a good one in southern California. You sound like you might be in the Santa Monica Community Garden...if so, I am too!

  2. California poppies are an annual here but self seed extremely well. I basically just let them pop up where ever they want.
