June 2020 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. | ||
