Eschscholzia glyptosperma Greene Eschscholzia glyptosperma E. Greene Desert poppy
This desert poppy is a native of the Mojave, Sonoran, and portions of the Colorado Deserts. Identification: Plants are about 8-10" (20-25 cm) high. Foliage at the base is blue- or gray-green in color. Bright yellow bowl-shaped flowers, resembling buttercups, are about 1" (2.5 cm) across, with a single flower per stem. They occur on bare stems (that is, they are scapose.) Compare these to Eschscholzia parishii, whose stems are not bare. Online References:
