Title: Unknown Papaveraceae
Post by: Gerdk on September 16, 2019, 06:31:26 PM

Does anyone know this poppy? It seems near to Escholzia californica but in all parts smaller and the flowers are of a paler tone of yellow.
Sorry for the quality of the photos - made by cellphone.

It looks like another Eschscholzia Gerd - caespitosa perhaps? Hard to be certain with these photos though.

Thank you Tristan!
E. caespitosa seems to be most likely according photos from the Internet.
There are some pics with a similar shape and coloration of the flowers.

Hi Gerd,
Another possibility is Eschscholzia lobbii.Below is a picture of this species in my garden.
