Nature Never Disappoints

Gorgeous Matilija Poppy blossom.

This drought-tolerant native plant thrives in a variety of habitats.
It's a hardy shrub capable of growing tree size.
Once established, it will spread and crowd out other garden plants.
This year, the Mantilija in my garden is displaying multiple blossoms.
Alas, the blossoms don't last long.
Although heavy with pollen, I've not seen pollinator insects nectar sipping.
