We went to the San Francisco Botanical Garden on one of those rare fog-free summer days that we occasionally enjoy here. Hegui and I are both completely enchanted by the matilija poppy. These shrubs are really quite enormous and the flowers are huge and lovely. They look like cheery sunnyside-up fried eggs, don’t you think? I had intended to take a picture with my new eye-phone, but clearly I haven’t gotten the hang of the thing. Instead I made this movie which I uploaded to U-tube. I love the way the flowers move in the wind: so soothing. Enjoy!

I adore poppies. I tried to grow them, but without success. They are beyond beautiful. Martha Stewart features them quite a bit in her magazines.

Really lovely! You’re right, they do look like sunny side up fried eggs!
And thanks so much for your sweet words about the new look of my site!
