California Poppy and Goldfields
A California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) rises above a field of California Goldfields (Lasthenia californica) and leptosiphon -- my guess is Small-Flowered Leptosiphon (L. parviflorus). Clouds fill the sky abofe Skyline Ridge. Springtime blossoms on Jasper Ridge. Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve, near Road F. 3/22/2011, 9:48 am, as the poppy was opening, before the morning winds.
