Can’t beat the Californian poppies for their eye-catching colours. I saw these at Roxburgh on our drive into Central Otago, 29 October 2022. We stopped there for a bit, by the highway, and wandered around looking at the roadside verge and private gardens. These were growing in a rough grassy patch between street and private property. New Zealand.

Beautiful. I also love these flowers, which is why we are growing them in our garden. I hope we will get more with each passing year. The insects love them, too.

They’re some of the brightest of flowers, on a sunny day anyway! We walked past some the other day, on a dull day, and their flowers were all curled up lol!

What a wonderful glow of colour! (Which would be very welcome here right now!) I love the close-up of the orange one.
