Those are not Calif. poppies, but exotic imports. We often have both
kinds in our garden, as well as hybrid Calif. poppies, in mixed
colors, including red.........
FWIW These deer were in a client's wild backyard garden with several
kinds of poppies growing. they were selecting out the CA poppies for
munching. You can see a few. I tried for a shot when they came up with a
mouthful but was unsuccessful. Focus is difficult with so many targets
and so little time as Wayne mentions.
Interesting about color variations with distance from the coast. Here
they are mostly a uniform shades of orange with a random shading to
light yellow. Occasional red which I suspect is a runaway exotic which
is a different species, a true poppy. Not those CA wannabe's ;).
