But we do have E. mexicana here also. The rattler was remarkably calm, so maybe it wasn't a Mojave green...

I wonder if your yellow poppies mixed in are what we have, E. mexicana?

They're gorgeous en masse like that. While my 'White Linen' California poppies did reasonably well, I never got more than a handful of orange ones and, as it's windy and heating up here too, I expect that ship has sailed.<br /><br />Happy gardening!Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1545670869571990833.post-33404724566424912912017-04-29T08:51:44.502-07:002017-04-29T08:51:44.502-07:00Holy crap!
