447 California Poppy

Eschscholzia californica. Drawn in our own garden in the Napa Valley on 5 May 1981. A superb garden flower now grown around the world, this poppy ranges in color from pure white to brilliant scarlet, the yellows and oranges being most commonly seen. Because it closes its petals when the light fades, the Spaniards called it dormidera (one who sleeps). —Henry Evans
