Description
There is a bush of Matilija poppy in the UC Davis Arboretum, at the margin of the lake. Every summer it blooms without failure. Romneya coulteri, also known as Coulter's Matilija poppy, is native to southern and Baja California. It grows in dry canyons in chaparral and coastal sage scrub plant communities. Against the black background, this white flower with orange color center pops with its delicate petal wrinkles.
