| I'd be grateful to anyone who can help me to identify the plant in the attached photo. I thought that this plant might be eriogonum but have decided it's not. I'm wondering if you can help identify it? The flowers are a little more orange than the red that they appear to be in the photo. I believe that it is a drought tolerant plant, or at least am hoping so. Thanks very much!    |

| Welcome to the site! Looks like California poppy. https://garden.org/plants/sear...

| Thanks crawgarden for your quick reply. The flower does somewhat resemble the California Poppy but the foliage is different from the poppies that I know. The flower also stands about 5" above a more matted foliage. Perhaps there is a different kind of poppy that I'm not familiar with. I will look into this. Many thanks! |

| Well I have too many photos, I thought perhaps Geum or Cistus but foliage is wrong. I moved it over to the Plant ID forum for help. My gardening Blog! Handmade quilts, face masks, new & vintage fabrics in my Etsy store. Summer Song Cottage Instagram Sewing posts |

| Calif_Sue I think that you may have found it. Here are a few better pictures I just found. I think it look like the photo in your database. Do you agree? The flowers kind of hover over a mound of foliage. Many thanks!    |

It was @Silversurfer that came up with the correct name, I only supplied the database link in agreement.  My gardening Blog! Handmade quilts, face masks, new & vintage fabrics in my Etsy store. Summer Song Cottage Instagram Sewing posts |
