"Matilija Poppies"
The Matilija Poppy has a long history in the state of California and was even nominated to be California's state flower in 1890. It is said to have received its name from Chief Matilija of the Chumash peoples of present-day Santa Barbara.
I love seeing their cheerful blooms in spring and summer, waving tall in the wind with their proud faces turned to the sun like cheerful fried eggs.
