Unidentified!
Californian poppy.
Today's crop of vegetables from the garden.
Parsnips, carrots, tomatoes, courgette, (zuchinni) and young chard.
Beautiful photos of pretty critters and flowers in your garden. The poppy flower is so bright and pretty. We are prohibited from growing poppy plants in my country.
