Papaveraceae
Last week, I think I only found 1 wind poppy, and this week, quite a few are showing up on shady slopes. Wind poppies always seem to look a little wind blown to me. The petals are so irregular. They're surprisingly tall for such a small flower. It's one of my favorites.

Wow! I've never SEEN one of those and, aside from the obv. Calif. poppy, didn't know we even had other native poppies. What a gorgeous thing! Thank you for the edification. =)
bb, I posted another Papaver for you, this time a fire poppy: http://natureid.blogspot.com/2014/05/fire-poppy-050114-fort-ord.html. Btw, there are a ton of native poppies in CA: http://www.calflora.org/cgi-bin/specieslist.cgi?where-family=PAPAVERACEAE
