Mexican Gold Poppy: Eschscholtzia mexicana

Another view in the Sonoran desert of Mexican Gold Poppies blooming in early spring.

The key ingredient for a great wildflower season in the Sonoran desert is winter rains; the more there is the more wildflowers that bloom. The best conditions is rain in November/December that are soaked into the ground then followed by additional rains in March as desert temperatures begin to rise.

I like the one in the foreground being sharp and then gradually becoming blurred...
