Search for the elusive California Poppy

After a tough day of gardening and walking back and forth through the tall grass (sheez, wouldn't it be nice is someone *hint hint* mowed the lawn so a certain Fox could get back and forth easier to the garden)?  My roommates decided to take a hike to see all of the wildflowers.  I hope I get to see some California Poppies today, my favorite flower besides Foxglove and Bear Grass but they are not out in season yet....

I think this one is Balonroot, I wish it would grow in my garden, the yellow is a beary  cool color but it's no poppy. 
What a big field of flowers.  Nope, no poppies yet....


I am not sure what this flower is, it's definately not Foxglove, Bear Grass or a California Poppy.  It's definately picture worthy though.

The mountain looks great today....Hey, why am I not in this picture???????  This is not how this blog works!!!!! 

Sigh, all of this hiking and no California Poppies.  Ooooh, wait I saw some as we were driving home........"stopppppppp thhhhhhhe carrrrrrrrrrr".  Phoey, they drove by but said we might be able to go out again this weekend searching for some poppies.

HMMM, why is blogger being so difficult with this strange background>??????

    No poppies... well it is a bit early isn't it? Mind you, I just saw some salmon berry flowers today so we are a couple of weeks behind you guys I think. Our poppies aren't doing much of anything yet. I hope you get on another outing this weekend! I have been promised an outing as well.

    Blogger is behaving badly - not sure why there is that strange background... never seen that before.

      It is a little early for Poppies but in the Columbia River Gorge area it gets much more sun than where my roommates and I live so I was hoping to see some. I think I convinced my roommates to go up there again this weekend so I am hoping the warm sunny weather helped those poppies get along.

      I won't see any of the poppies I planted until July or August at my house.

      No bees this time. Does Jerry like Bumble Bees only or does he like Yellow Jackets as well? I prefer whatever bee makes honey!
