Not sure what it is or how it found its way into my yard, but it's kinda pretty.

It's a Poppy, I call it pops and look for opium.

That's what I thought, but there's allot I don't know.
And I don't know where any are growing in the neighborhood. Maybe a few blocks away.

Yeah, I get it. I have quite a few BPS (bird poop specials) show up in my yard. I just enjoy it & wonder how it got there.

I've been keeping an eye on my selenicereus grandiflorus scattered through my yard but forget to check last night. Caught one this morning as it was closing back up. I have about three ready to go hopefully tonight. And I hope I remember to look.

These two together look nice but the neighbors blue lights make it hard to photograph.

Probably Oriental poppy, leaves of opium poppy are very glaucous and more obvious pinnate e spined. At least from this photo. Scoring the ovary at sunrise and collecting sap in the afternoon is more work than it's worth.

I'm just broke enough that I thought about it, but then I realized I'd need hundreds of them to be worthwhile.
So I'll wait 'til next year

Physocarpus monogynus, Mountain Ninebark. I didn't plan on collecting this. While I was digging up a ponderosa, the person I was with ripped this little guy out of the ground and presented it to me. I popped it in a pot and waited 3 years for blooms.

Cercocarpus montanus, Alder-leaf Mountain Mahogany.

Pansies

Cercocarpus montanus, Alder-leaf Mountain Mahogany.

Is this particular plant new to you?
I ask because that's not what mountain mahogany flowers look like. They're long feathery looking things, impossible to mistake. This might actually be a mountain alder tree, but there are also native currants with very similar looking foliage and growth habit to mountain mahogany.

The long feathery things come next, after these little flowers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cercocarpus_montanus

I may be confused because they've already started here. You're warm season comes a bit later, though. I forget that.
