Quiet vibrance at the Denver Botanic Gardens.

The contrast between the glowing California poppies and the darker foliage is what pulled me in — bold color, calm presence.

Thanks for sharing moments like this with me.

A California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) lit against dark foliage at the Denver Botanic Gardens. I leaned into the contrast to let the color and shape speak quietly on their own.

Photography is about perspective — and I’m glad you’re here.

A single California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) glows in warm orange light against dark, finely textured foliage at the Denver Botanic Gardens. The flower is sharply focused while the surrounding greenery falls into deep shadow, emphasizing contrast and form.

Eschscholzia. One of my favorite words to ask people to spell!

Yes, Eschscholzia californica Dusky Rose from Renee’s Garden seeds. The pinks come in varying shades: one darker pink, one pale barely pink. I also have some “Buttercream” pale yellow. I’m most intrigued by ones that have pale yellow petals from the top but pink underneath when sunlight catches them

California poppy? Eschscholzia? I've never seen one that colour, it's gorgeous. They're usually bright orange yes? The promise of more of these next year is such a good thought....

Native to the western US from Washington to Arizona, California poppies (Papaveraceae: Eschscholzia californica) are perhaps most common in their namesake state. In some places they can be so dense their large, bright flowers are hard to miss. Klamath Mountains of California, 26 Apr 2013.

Did you know there’s a California native plant garden on the roof of CalAcademy of Sciences? Neither did I, until Friday!

Seep monkeyflower (Erythranthes guttata). A tubular yellow flower with fused petals and orange speckles. Related to our East Coast Mimulus monkeyflower, but different genus. Pacific aster (Symphyotrichum chilense). A purple composite flower with purple ray flowers and yellow disk flowers. The iconic California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). A bright orange and yellow flower. California fuchsia (Epilobium canum). Not actually a fuchsia! Two hot pink tubular flowers.

Flowers of California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). Two fused sepals form a hat-like structure that has already dehisced, while four free bright orange petals adorn the blossom. Inside the flower, though not visible from this perspective, are numerous stamens arranged in several whorls and a gynoecium composed of two carpels. The gynoecium is surrounded by a floral cup forming a wide rim, which can be seen on the lower left, once all other organs have fallen off. (Image credit: Annette Becker.)

Beautiful Eschscholzia fren, its soft orange petals gone except one, revealing its pistil and stamens, surrounded by its frilly leaves spattered with rain droplets, with a softly swirling bokeh background.
