The coastal form of the California poppy is a mounding, low-growing plant with striking gray-blue foliage and blossoms that are the essence of yellow, sometimes with a deep orange center. It is perennial and blooms for at least 3 months. Right on the coast, new plants emerge and bloom for up to 7 months. The blossoms open flat as a dinner plate with cheery, bowl shaped, sunny yellow edges with showy orange centers, a magnet for bumblebees and other native bees, as well as honeybees. 
 
This species of poppy is also featured in Coastal Aurum 1 and 2, but with a different angle and background color for a different atmosphere.
