2013, Day 174 - Fried egg

This is a matilija poppy, they are literally the "fried egg" flower.  Although they generally prefer a warmer climate our wet weather doesn't seem to have slowed them down at all.  They are blooming prolifically right now and you can see them at least a block away as the flowers can be as large as eight inches in diameter.
