Description
Springtime in the desert southwest. When Arizona gets winter rains these poppies come out in the Spring. Photographed in the greater Tucson Arizona area.
Mexican Gold Poppy - Mexican Gold Poppy is a native annual that grows in dense patches. It's commonly found blooming on the limestone slopes of mountains in southern New Mexico and the western tip of Texas in March and April. Each yellow-orange blossom has four petals that grow singly at the end of slender stalks. A slender, green cover (calyx) encloses the flower petals until bloom. The blue-green foliage is fern-like. It is a close relative to the California poppy.

Lucinda, the "poppy" is one of my favorites. Love the perspective and how you caught the few in clarity for the rest to be a quiet backdrop. Very nice.
