Has a three needle fascicle. Needles were greater than 16 cm. Observed while the pine was growing new pine cones! Pine cones had a green little “tuft” at the top of the cones
Saw this little caterpillar munching on the flower. Also watched the cap of the poppy pop off when it was ready!
Very common but this flower always amazes me every time I see it.
These flowers grew in where a pond used to be in the winter months
super pretty flowers around cc campus! very long stems
these poppies weren’t too open but many were and they would close soon at night which is cool- found these in the CC garden
Found these at the CC garden as well and the red coloring on the petals seem to be an indicator or hook for pollinators to come
